The artist has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the MVT, which works to preserve the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, generating over £100k on his recent tour to support 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted locations that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from concerts in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his honor funds to charitable organizations.
Back when the band received the award in the year 1996 for their record the album, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her bounty between several good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Two years ago, the band donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners M People gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Winning was ample," said vocalist Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had protected a couple of small stages in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in the city and The Croft in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
