The star has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the MVT, which functions to protect the UK's small live music spots.
He was awarded the award on 16 October as his third album People Watching was declared the top album of the past year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, raising over £100k on his live tour to assist numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped locations that were dealing with possible closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations received funding support in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from performances in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
He is not the first artist to contribute his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when they earned the award in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, vocalist the singer announced that the act would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist shared her prize among a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Previously, they donated their winnings to the community center that supported their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they donated their prize to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was ample," stated vocalist the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had rescued a couple of local spots in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the second in the city were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
