The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25k award cash to the MVT, which works to preserve the United Kingdom's small music venues.
The star was awarded the award on mid-October as his latest record the album was named the best record of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds helped locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained funding support in modernizing amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in large arenas supports the local stages, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
He is among several artists to donate his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when the band won the trophy in 1996 for their release their work, vocalist the singer stated that the group would contribute their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist shared her award across several charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Previously, they donated their funds to the youth organization that developed their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients M People gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked singer the singer. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved two local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The first in that area and The Croft in the city were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the properties.
