The star has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which functions to save the UK's small music venues.
Fender was given the prize on October 16 as his latest record People Watching was named the best record of the previous year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, generating in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation assisted venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues stemming from flooding, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in improving infrastructure and gear that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from performances in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is among several artists to donate his honor funds to charitable organizations.
When Pulp earned the award in 1996 for their album Different Class, vocalist the singer declared that the group would contribute their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician she shared her bounty among a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
In recent years, they donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners the group donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked vocalist Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who buy "shares" in the venues.
