The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the MVT, which works to save the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
Fender was given the prize on 16 October as his third album his work was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous small stages across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were confronting possible closure due to challenges caused by flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from concerts in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to donate his award funds to charitable organizations.
When the band won the prize in 1996 for their release Different Class, frontman the singer stated that the group would donate their prize money to the charity War Child.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her award among a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," the artist told outlets.
In recent years, they donated their prize money to the community center that developed their group, as well as other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had saved several grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by a national body and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
