The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 award prize money to the MVT, which operates to protect the Britain's small music venues.
The star was presented with the award on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these locations have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also joined in, raising over £100k on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted venues that were facing imminent closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces received funding support in improving amenities and gear that helped musicians and fans.
"The concept that money from performances in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
He is among several artists to donate his award funds to good deeds.
In they received the trophy in 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the organization the charity.
That year, artist the artist split her award across multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a grand to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," the artist told the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their group, as well as other local music groups.
And winners that year M People donated their award to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," said artist the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our success impacted another person's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in Southampton and the second in the city were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
