The star has given the complete sum of his £25k award cash to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the Britain's grassroots music venues.
Fender was given the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, generating over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation assisted spaces that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations received financial assistance in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that helped artists and audiences.
"The notion that money from concerts in big venues backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his award funds to good deeds.
When the band earned the prize in 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer the singer stated that the act would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite divided her prize among a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a grand to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," the artist shared with a publication.
Previously, the band contributed their winnings to the community center that nurtured their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said artist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had rescued several local spots in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the community ownership program, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
