The star has handed over the full amount of his £25k award cash to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's independent live music spots.
The star was given the award on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
The money supported venues that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that helped performers and fans.
"The notion that money from shows in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor funds to good deeds.
In the band received the trophy in the year 1996 for their record the album, vocalist the singer stated that the group would contribute their cash to the non-profit the charity.
That year, rapper and singer she divided her award across multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their funds to the community center that developed their band, as well as other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients the group donated their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked vocalist Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success affected another person's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had protected two small stages in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
The first in the city and the other in the city were bought under the community ownership program, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the venues.
