The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
The star was presented with the prize on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the best record of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to support thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were facing imminent closure due to challenges caused by floods, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted funding support in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
He is among several artists to give his award funds to good deeds.
Back when they received the prize in the mid-90s for their album their work, frontman the singer stated that the group would contribute their cash to the charity the charity.
During 2002, musician the artist split her prize between several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," the artist shared with the media.
Two years ago, they donated their funds to the community center that supported their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they donated their award to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was ample," said vocalist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success touched the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had protected a couple of small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
