The star has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 award prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's small music venues.
Fender was given the award on 16 October as his new release his work was chosen as the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots played in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to support numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The money assisted locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges caused by floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues received monetary aid in improving amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that money from shows in large arenas supports the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to give his award winnings to good deeds.
In the band earned the award in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would give their prize money to the charity War Child.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her bounty between multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," the artist explained to outlets.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the community center that supported their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners they contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked singer the singer. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success touched the lives of others."
Recently, the MVT shared it had saved a couple of local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in that area and the other in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
