The star has donated the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's small music venues.
Fender was awarded the prize on October 16 as his new release his work was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
He also joined in, collecting over £100k on his live tour to assist 38 small stages across Britain.
The money supported venues that were facing imminent closure due to issues caused by flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in improving facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from shows in big venues supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
He is not the first artist to give his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when the band won the prize in the year 1996 for their record the album, lead singer the singer declared that the act would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist shared her award between several good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," the artist told the media.
Two years ago, they gave their prize money to the community center that nurtured their band, alongside other local music groups.
And winners that year M People donated their award to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the condition.
"Winning was ample," remarked singer Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued two grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and the other in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "shares" in the properties.
