The star has given the complete sum of his £25k award cash to the MVT, which works to save the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his new release the album was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to donate the funds to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted locations that were confronting imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from performances in big venues helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his honor winnings to worthy causes.
When the band earned the trophy in 1996 for their album the album, lead singer the singer declared that the group would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist divided her prize between multiple good causes, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," she explained to a publication.
Previously, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year the group gave their award to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was ample," said vocalist Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had rescued several small stages in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in that area and the second in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who buy "shares" in the buildings.
