The artist has handed over the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
He was presented with the award on mid-October as his new release the album was named the best record of the previous year.
He has opted to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots had in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians like Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
He also participated, raising over £100k on his recent tour to help 38 local spots across Britain.
These funds assisted venues that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted funding support in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
When the band received the award in 1996 for their release their work, frontman Cocker announced that the group would donate their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician she shared her prize across multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their band, in addition to other local music groups.
And the 1994 recipients the group contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," said vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The first in the city and The Croft in that location were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who buy "shares" in the properties.
