The star has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 award winnings to the MVT, which operates to protect the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the prize on October 16 as his latest record the album was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his live tour to help numerous small stages across Britain.
The donation assisted spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to issues caused by flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
He is not the first artist to give his award prize money to worthy causes.
When the band won the award in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, frontman the singer declared that the band would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician she divided her bounty among a few good causes, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
Two years ago, the band contributed their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year the group donated their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," said artist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected another person's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had saved two small stages in that region, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in that area and the second in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
