The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on mid-October as his new release People Watching was named the best record of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the performances I did around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also participated, raising over £100k on his live tour to support 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in upgrading amenities and gear that helped musicians and fans.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his award prize money to good deeds.
In the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, vocalist the singer announced that the group would donate their cash to the organization the charity.
That year, rapper and singer the artist divided her award among a few charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients M People gave their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," stated vocalist the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in that location were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is backed by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
