The star has given the entirety of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's small live music spots.
Fender was presented with the award on mid-October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
He also took part, raising over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were confronting possible closure due to challenges arising from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas supports the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his award funds to charitable organizations.
Back when the band earned the trophy in the year 1996 for their release their work, vocalist Cocker stated that the act would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her prize between several good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," she shared with the media.
In recent years, the band donated their funds to the youth organization that supported their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And winners that year the group gave their prize to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said singer Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning touched the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected a couple of local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in that area and the other in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
