The star has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 award prize money to the MVT, which functions to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the award on October 16 as his third album the album was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots had in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to support numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received funding support in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
Back when they won the prize in the mid-90s for their release the album, frontman the singer declared that the group would contribute their winnings to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award among multiple organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
Previously, the band gave their prize money to the community center that nurtured their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally 1994 winners the group donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," said vocalist Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning touched another person's life."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had rescued several small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in that area and the other in the city were acquired under the community ownership program, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
