The star has given the complete sum of his £25k honor prize money to the MVT, which works to preserve the UK's independent live music spots.
He was given the award on October 16 as his third album his work was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part small stages had in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
The money assisted venues that were facing possible closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in upgrading amenities and gear that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is not the first artist to give his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
In the band won the award in the mid-90s for their album the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
During 2002, musician the artist divided her award among a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," she explained to a publication.
In recent years, they donated their winnings to the community center that supported their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners M People contributed their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning affected another person's life."
Recently, the trust revealed it had rescued two small stages in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in the city and the second in the city were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
