The star has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the MVT, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
He was awarded the award on mid-October as his latest record his work was named the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his beginning days.
"I personally would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous small stages across the UK.
The donation helped venues that were facing imminent closure due to issues stemming from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues were granted funding support in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the local stages, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his award prize money to charitable organizations.
In Pulp received the prize in 1996 for their album the album, lead singer the singer stated that the band would give their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician the artist shared her award among several charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," the artist shared with the media.
Previously, the band contributed their prize money to the youth organization that supported their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients they gave their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," stated vocalist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success affected another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved several local spots in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and the other in that location were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
