The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the MVT, which functions to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
Fender was given the award on October 16 as his latest record the album was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The money supported locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The notion that funds from performances in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to give his honor funds to charitable organizations.
When the band received the trophy in 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer she divided her bounty among multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," the artist shared with a publication.
Previously, they contributed their winnings to the youth organization that developed their band, alongside other local music groups.
Also winners that year the group donated their prize to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," said singer Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success touched the lives of others."
Last week, the trust announced it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in that location were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who acquire "shares" in the venues.
