The artist has handed over the entirety of his £25k honor cash to the MVT, which works to protect the Britain's independent live music spots.
Fender was given the prize on mid-October as his new release his work was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role local spots played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 small stages across Britain.
The donation supported spaces that were facing imminent closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and fans.
"The concept that money from concerts in major spaces backs the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor funds to good deeds.
When the band earned the prize in the mid-90s for their release their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite split her bounty among multiple organizations, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Two years ago, the band donated their prize money to the community center that nurtured their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners M People gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated singer the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT announced it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in the city and the second in that location were purchased under the community ownership program, which is supported by a national body and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
