The artist has given the full amount of his £25,000 honor winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
Fender was awarded the prize on mid-October as his new release the album was named the top album of the previous year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his early career.
"I would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues stemming from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained funding support in improving amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The idea that money from performances in major spaces helps the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when they received the prize in 1996 for their record the album, frontman the singer announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her prize among a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Two years ago, the band contributed their prize money to the community center that developed their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners they contributed their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked singer Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning affected another person's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the second in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
