The star has given the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's independent live music spots.
Fender was given the prize on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function local spots played in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
He also participated, collecting over £100k on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across Britain.
These funds helped locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues caused by floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that helped performers and audiences.
"The idea that money from concerts in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
He is not the first artist to give his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
When they won the trophy in the mid-90s for their release their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the band would give their cash to the non-profit the charity.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite divided her award across several organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Previously, the band gave their prize money to the community center that supported their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners M People contributed their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," said vocalist Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected two grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the other in the city were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is supported by a national body and supporters who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
