The star has given the entirety of his £25k honor winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the United Kingdom's small live music spots.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages had in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous small stages across Britain.
The money supported venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues stemming from water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues received monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The notion that money from concerts in large arenas supports the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to good deeds.
When Pulp earned the award in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist shared her prize across a few good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective donated their funds to the local youth club that supported their group, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year M People gave their award to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked vocalist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the trust announced it had protected several small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
One venue in that area and the second in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
