The star has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's small live music spots.
Fender was awarded the prize on October 16 as his latest record the album was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also took part, generating over £100k on his recent tour to help thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The money assisted spaces that were facing imminent closure due to issues caused by flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted funding support in upgrading facilities and gear that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The notion that money from shows in big venues supports the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his honor funds to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp won the trophy in 1996 for their record their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would donate their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite split her bounty between several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," she shared with a publication.
Previously, the band donated their funds to the community center that supported their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners M People gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the condition.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated vocalist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our success affected another person's life."
Recently, the trust revealed it had protected a couple of local spots in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in the city and the second in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership program, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "shares" in the buildings.
