The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25k award winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's small music venues.
The star was given the prize on October 16 as his new release People Watching was named the top album of the past year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues had in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
The money helped venues that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from performances in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their record their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would donate their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she split her award between multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, they donated their prize money to the youth organization that developed their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group gave their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"Winning was ample," remarked singer Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in the city and the second in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the buildings.
