The star has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 award prize money to the MVT, which operates to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist thirty-eight grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and gear that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The idea that funds from shows in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his award winnings to good deeds.
When they earned the award in the mid-90s for their release their work, lead singer the singer declared that the band would donate their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician she split her bounty among multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Previously, they contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners the group donated their award to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," said artist the singer. "The money was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success affected another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had protected several small stages in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in that area and The Croft in the city were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by the arts council and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
