The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 award winnings to the MVT, which works to preserve the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
He was given the prize on October 16 as his new release People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, major artists like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds supported spaces that were facing possible closure due to difficulties arising from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from performances in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," the star has said.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his award prize money to good deeds.
When they received the trophy in the mid-90s for their record the album, lead singer the singer declared that the group would contribute their cash to the charity the charity.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her award across several good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," she explained to the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated artist Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success touched another person's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had rescued several local spots in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in that location were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who purchase "stakes" in the properties.
