The artist has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the MVT, which operates to protect the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on mid-October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues 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 performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 small stages across the UK.
The money helped locations that were facing potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted funding support in improving amenities and technical equipment that helped performers and audiences.
"The notion that funds from concerts in major spaces backs the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when Pulp earned the prize in 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her prize between several good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," she told outlets.
Two years ago, the band donated their prize money to the community center that developed their group, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked singer Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved several grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in that area and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by a national body and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
