The star has handed over the full amount of his £25k honor winnings to the MVT, which works to preserve the United Kingdom's small live music spots.
He was awarded the award on October 16 as his third album People Watching was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to donate the funds to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
He also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 small stages across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The idea that funds from shows in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his honor winnings to worthy causes.
In Pulp received the trophy in the year 1996 for their release the album, frontman Cocker declared that the act would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist she shared her bounty between multiple charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their winnings to the community center that developed their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Winning was ample," stated singer the singer. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our success touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had saved a couple of local spots in that region, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in the city and the other in that location were bought under the public acquisition initiative, which is supported by a national body and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
