The artist has donated the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which works to save the UK's independent music venues.
Fender was awarded the prize on October 16 as his third album his work was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, generating over £100k on his recent tour to support thirty-eight grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues received financial assistance in improving facilities and gear that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from concerts in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to give his honor funds to worthy causes.
When they won the award in 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Cocker stated that the group would contribute their cash to the organization the charity.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite split her bounty among multiple charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," the artist explained to outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the community center that supported their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients M People donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," said artist Small. "The money was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in the city and the second in the city were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by a national body and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
