The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to save the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
The star was given the award on 16 October as his third album the album was declared the top album of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the essential function small stages had in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
He also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The money helped spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The concept that money from performances in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when they won the prize in 1996 for their album the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, artist she shared her award among a few organizations, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," the artist told the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the youth organization that supported their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients the group donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," said singer Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected another person's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had protected a couple of local spots in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in the city were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
