The star has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots live music spots.
He was given the prize on 16 October as his third album his work was named the best record of the past year.
He has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across the UK.
The money supported locations that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties caused by floods, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained funding support in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and audiences.
"The idea that money from shows in big venues helps the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his award prize money to worthy causes.
Back when they won the prize in 1996 for their release Different Class, frontman the singer announced that the act would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist divided her award among a few organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," she explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the community center that nurtured their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients the group gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," said vocalist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had rescued several local spots in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in that area and the second in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition program, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
