The star has handed over the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the MVT, which operates to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was given the prize on 16 October as his latest record his work was named the top album of the last 12 months.
He has opted to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted spaces that were facing imminent closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and fans.
"The idea that revenue from performances in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to give his honor funds to good deeds.
When the band won the prize in the year 1996 for their release their work, vocalist the singer announced that the group would contribute their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her award between a few charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," the artist explained to a publication.
Two years ago, they contributed their funds to the community center that nurtured their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Winning was ample," stated singer Heather Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued a couple of local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the community ownership program, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
