The star has donated the complete sum of his £25k award prize money to the MVT, which functions to save the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
Fender was given the award on 16 October as his new release the album was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous small stages across the UK.
These funds supported venues that were confronting possible closure due to issues stemming from flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas supports the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
He is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to charitable organizations.
In the band won the prize in 1996 for their album the album, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, musician she divided her bounty between multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required updated gear," the artist shared with the media.
Two years ago, they gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
And winners that year the group contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Recently, the trust announced it had saved two grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in the city were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "stakes" in the properties.
