The artist has handed over the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's small music venues.
Fender was given the award on mid-October as his third album the album was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages had in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
The money assisted spaces that were facing imminent closure due to challenges stemming from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations were granted funding support in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that helped musicians and fans.
"The concept that revenue from performances in major spaces backs the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his honor funds to worthy causes.
In Pulp won the award in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman Cocker stated that the act would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
That year, artist the artist split her bounty across multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," she shared with a publication.
In recent years, they donated their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners the group gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had protected several small stages in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in that location were purchased under the public acquisition program, which is funded by a national body and music fans who buy "stakes" in the venues.
