The artist has given the complete sum of his £25,000 award prize money to the MVT, which works to protect the UK's independent live music spots.
Fender was presented with the prize on October 16 as his latest record the album was named the best record of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across Britain.
These funds helped locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges caused by flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that helped musicians and fans.
"The concept that funds from shows in major spaces supports the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his award winnings to worthy causes.
In the band earned the prize in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the act would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite shared her award among multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," she explained to outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the community center that supported their group, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners M People contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
