The artist has handed over the entirety of his £25k honor cash to the MVT, which operates to protect the UK's small live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on October 16 as his new release People Watching was named the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the vital role local spots played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported venues that were facing possible closure due to challenges caused by floods, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted funding support in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his award winnings to worthy causes.
Back when they won the prize in the year 1996 for their release the album, lead singer the singer declared that the group would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist the artist divided her award between a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, they contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners the group donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," said vocalist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust revealed it had rescued two local spots in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in the city and the second in that location were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
