The artist has given the entirety of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which functions to save the Britain's small music venues.
The star was presented with the prize on mid-October as his new release the album was named the top album of the previous year.
He has decided to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted spaces that were facing possible closure due to difficulties caused by floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces received funding support in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas backs the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his award winnings to worthy causes.
When they received the trophy in 1996 for their release the album, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would give their prize money to the organization the charity.
That year, artist she divided her bounty across several organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," the artist told a publication.
In recent years, they gave their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year M People gave their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said singer Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued a couple of local spots in that region, by placing them under local control.
One venue in that area and The Croft in the city were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by the arts council and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
