The artist has donated the full amount of his £25,000 honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was awarded the award on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages had in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I played around the area, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to give his honor funds to worthy causes.
When Pulp received the prize in the mid-90s for their record their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would donate their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, musician she split her award across several organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," the artist shared with a publication.
Previously, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," said vocalist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had protected several grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
