The star has handed over the full amount of his £25k award winnings to the MVT, which functions to protect the UK's small music venues.
Fender was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his latest record his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages had in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to support thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation helped venues that were facing imminent closure due to challenges arising from floods, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues received funding support in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and fans.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to give his award winnings to good deeds.
When Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their record their work, lead singer Cocker declared that the group would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, musician the artist shared her award between multiple good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the community center that nurtured their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients M People donated their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," said artist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved several grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The first in the city and the second in that location were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
