The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 award cash to the MVT, which works to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
The star was given the cheque on October 16 as his new release the album was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also joined in, raising over £100k on his recent tour to help numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported venues that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties caused by floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues received financial assistance in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from shows in large arenas supports the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his award funds to charitable organizations.
When they won the award in the mid-90s for their release the album, lead singer Cocker announced that the band would contribute their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite shared her award across a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," the artist explained to a publication.
Previously, the band gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients they contributed their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked artist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had saved two grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in that location were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
