The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k award prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
He was given the cheque on October 16 as his latest record the album was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
He has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages played in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth 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 attempts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 local spots across the UK.
The money assisted locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted funding support in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in major spaces backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his honor funds to good deeds.
In Pulp received the award in the year 1996 for their release the album, vocalist Cocker announced that the act would contribute their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, musician she shared her bounty across several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Previously, the band contributed their winnings to the community center that developed their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients the group gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Winning was ample," stated singer Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The first in the city and the other in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
