The artist has handed over the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which works to save the UK's small music venues.
Fender was given the prize on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots had in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, generating over £100k on his live tour to assist numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported locations that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received funding support in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from concerts in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his honor winnings to worthy causes.
In they won the award in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist the singer declared that the band would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
In 2002, musician she shared her prize across multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the community center that supported their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was ample," remarked singer Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued two grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the second in the city were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "shares" in the venues.
