The artist has donated the entirety of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which works to preserve the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the award on October 16 as his third album the album was declared the best record of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages played in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the area, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also participated, raising over £100k on his recent tour to support 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported locations that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues received funding support in modernizing infrastructure and technical equipment that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that money from performances in big venues helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
He is not the first artist to contribute his award winnings to good deeds.
In Pulp received the prize in 1996 for their release their work, frontman the singer declared that the band would contribute their prize money to the charity the charity.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her award among several good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Two years ago, the band gave their funds to the community center that nurtured their group, as well as other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners the group gave their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was ample," remarked artist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT shared it had rescued several small stages in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
