The star has given the complete sum of his £25,000 award winnings to the MVT, which functions to save the United Kingdom's grassroots music venues.
Fender was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his third album the album was named the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I played around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports independent venues.
Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped venues that were confronting possible closure due to issues arising from flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The concept that funds from shows in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
He is far from the only musician to donate his award funds to good deeds.
When Pulp won the award in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman the singer announced that the act would give their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her bounty among several good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," the artist explained to outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People contributed their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was ample," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT announced it had protected a couple of local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and the second in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is supported by a national body and music fans who buy "stakes" in the venues.
