The artist has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the trust for venues, which functions to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was given the cheque on October 16 as his new release his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function local spots had in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges arising from water damage, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues obtained funding support in modernizing facilities and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from shows in big venues backs the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to give his award prize money to good deeds.
In Pulp won the award in the year 1996 for their record the album, frontman the singer stated that the act would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite split her prize between multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," the artist shared with the media.
In recent years, they donated their prize money to the community center that nurtured their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked vocalist Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our success touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had protected several small stages in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
