The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's grassroots music venues.
The star was awarded the award on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
He has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role local spots had in his initial steps.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across the UK.
The money helped spaces that were confronting possible closure due to challenges stemming from water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained financial assistance in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The concept that money from performances in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
Back when they won the trophy in 1996 for their release the album, frontman Cocker declared that the band would contribute their winnings to the charity War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite split her bounty among multiple charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," the artist told a publication.
Two years ago, the band contributed their winnings to the community center that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients the group contributed their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," said artist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our success touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected a couple of small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
The first in the city and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "shares" in the properties.
