The star has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 award cash to the MVT, which operates to preserve the UK's independent live music spots.
He was given the award on 16 October as his latest record the album was chosen as the best record of the past year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous small stages across the UK.
These funds helped venues that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in improving infrastructure and gear that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from shows in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to donate his award prize money to good deeds.
In Pulp earned the trophy in 1996 for their release their work, lead singer Cocker announced that the group would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her prize among a few organizations, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
Previously, they gave their funds to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," said vocalist the singer. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership program, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the buildings.
