The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the trust for venues, which works to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
Fender was given the award on 16 October as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his early career.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were confronting possible closure due to issues caused by floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in improving amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The concept that money from concerts in big venues helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
He is not the first artist to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
When Pulp won the trophy in 1996 for their album their work, frontman Cocker stated that the group would donate their winnings to the charity War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist split her award across multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," the artist told the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally 1994 winners M People donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked vocalist Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had protected several small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
