The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k award prize money to the trust for venues, which works to save the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
The star was given the prize on mid-October as his third album People Watching was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
These funds helped venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from performances in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
He is not the first artist to contribute his award prize money to charitable organizations.
In they won the award in the mid-90s for their album the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist divided her prize between several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Previously, they gave their winnings to the community center that developed their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients the group donated their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," said singer the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved two grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in that area and the other in the city were bought under the community ownership program, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
