The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's independent concert spaces.
The star was given the cheque on October 16 as his third album his work was named the top album of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots had in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation helped spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted funding support in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his award prize money to charitable organizations.
In Pulp received the trophy in 1996 for their album the album, lead singer Cocker stated that the act would donate their prize money to the charity the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her award across several charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the local youth club that supported their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group gave their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The first in that area and the other in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
