The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k award prize money to the MVT, which works to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
Fender was awarded the prize on 16 October as his new release People Watching was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages had in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, collecting over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The money helped locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted funding support in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The concept that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
In Pulp received the award in 1996 for their record their work, frontman the singer stated that the band would contribute their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer she shared her award among a few charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners they donated their prize to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," said singer the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success touched another person's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had rescued a couple of local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in Bristol were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by a national body and music fans who buy "stakes" in the properties.
