The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award prize money to the MVT, which operates to protect the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was awarded the award on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
He has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 local spots across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and fans.
"The notion that money from concerts in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
He is among several artists to contribute his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
In the band won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, vocalist the singer declared that the band would contribute their cash to the non-profit the charity.
That year, rapper and singer the artist divided her prize between several organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a grand to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," the artist shared with a publication.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective donated their funds to the community center that nurtured their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group gave their award to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved two grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the second in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
