The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k award cash to the trust for venues, which operates to save the Britain's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on 16 October as his third album the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages played in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The money helped spaces that were facing imminent closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in modernizing infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from performances in big venues supports the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
He is not the first artist to give his award funds to worthy causes.
In Pulp won the award in the year 1996 for their album the album, frontman Cocker stated that the act would contribute their prize money to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist divided her award among multiple charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required better apparatus," she shared with a publication.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their group, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners the group gave their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT announced it had saved several grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in that area and the other in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
