The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 honor cash to the MVT, which operates to save the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was presented with the award on mid-October as his third album People Watching was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous local spots across the UK.
These funds supported spaces that were confronting possible closure due to issues stemming from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues received funding support in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from concerts in big venues helps the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
He is far from the only musician to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp earned the award in the mid-90s for their record the album, lead singer Cocker stated that the band would donate their winnings to the organization War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her award between a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," the artist told the media.
Two years ago, the band donated their prize money to the community center that nurtured their group, as well as other local music groups.
And winners that year M People contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was ample," remarked singer the singer. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the honor. So our winning impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had protected a couple of small stages in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in Southampton and the other in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
