The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the MVT, which works to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was given the prize on October 16 as his latest record his work was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the essential function small stages had in his early career.
"I would not have achieved this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating over £100k on his recent tour to support 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation supported venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in upgrading amenities and gear that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The idea that money from concerts in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his award winnings to good deeds.
When Pulp received the award in 1996 for their album their work, vocalist the singer announced that the band would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist split her bounty among several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," the artist told a publication.
Two years ago, they donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their group, alongside other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients they donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked singer Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had rescued two small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in the city and the second in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
