The artist has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which functions to protect the UK's small live music spots.
Fender was awarded the prize on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was named the top album of the previous year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 small stages across Britain.
The money assisted locations that were confronting possible closure due to challenges arising from floods, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues received funding support in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when Pulp received the trophy in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize across multiple organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," the artist explained to a publication.
Previously, the band contributed their winnings to the youth organization that nurtured their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they contributed their award to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said vocalist Heather Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning touched another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had rescued two small stages in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
