The artist has given the entirety of his £25,000 honor cash to the MVT, which operates to protect the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was given the award on 16 October as his third album the album was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the essential function local spots had in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have shut down – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
He also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 local spots across Britain.
The money assisted venues that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
Back when the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their record the album, lead singer the singer declared that the band would give their cash to the non-profit the charity.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her bounty between several good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," she explained to outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their prize money to the local youth club that developed their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
And winners that year M People donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust announced it had saved a couple of local spots in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in the city and the second in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "shares" in the properties.
