The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his latest record his work was named the top album of the past year.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the shows I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation assisted locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges arising from floods, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations received monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from performances in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor winnings to good deeds.
In they earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their record their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among multiple organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked updated gear," the artist told the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their funds to the community center that supported their group, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients the group contributed their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked vocalist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected another person's life."
Last week, the MVT announced it had protected two grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in the city and the other in the city were bought under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
