The star has given the entirety of his £25,000 award winnings to the MVT, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots live music spots.
Fender was awarded the award on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the best record of the past year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across Britain.
The money assisted venues that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from shows in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his award prize money to charitable organizations.
In they earned the award in the year 1996 for their release their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, musician the artist split her bounty among multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," she shared with a publication.
Previously, the band donated their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients the group gave their prize to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said singer the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had rescued two small stages in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The first in the city and the other in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
