The star has given the complete sum of his £25k award prize money to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the previous year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages played in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to issues stemming from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in upgrading facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from shows in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor winnings to good deeds.
When the band won the award in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, lead singer the singer declared that the act would contribute their winnings to the organization the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her bounty across several good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," she explained to outlets.
In recent years, they gave their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients they contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated singer the singer. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the other in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
