The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k award prize money to the MVT, which works to protect the UK's small concert spaces.
The star was given the award on mid-October as his new release the album was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
Fender is among several artists to give his award winnings to good deeds.
In they received the prize in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, frontman Cocker announced that the band would donate their cash to the charity War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her prize among multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," she told outlets.
Two years ago, they donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their band, as well as other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients they donated their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"Winning was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning touched another person's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had rescued two small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The first in the city and the other in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
