The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was awarded the prize on 16 October as his new release his work was named the best record of the past year.
He has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist thirty-eight grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations obtained funding support in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The idea that money from concerts in large arenas backs the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
He is not the first artist to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
When the band earned the award in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, lead singer the singer stated that the act would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize between a few good causes, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," she shared with the media.
Previously, they donated their winnings to the community center that supported their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"The victory was ample," remarked vocalist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the trust revealed it had saved a couple of local spots in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in the city and the other in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
