The star has donated the full amount of his £25k award winnings to the MVT, which functions to preserve the United Kingdom's small music venues.
The star was awarded the award on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the previous year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation supported locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues stemming from floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations received monetary aid in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
He is not the first artist to give his award funds to good deeds.
Back when the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their record their work, lead singer the singer announced that the group would give their cash to the charity the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her bounty between a few organizations, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," the artist told a publication.
Previously, they donated their prize money to the community center that nurtured their act, alongside other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients M People gave their award to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," said artist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had saved a couple of local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
