The artist has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the United Kingdom's small live music spots.
The star was given the award on mid-October as his new release the album was declared the top album of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role small stages played in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous small stages across Britain.
The donation helped venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from floods, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues received financial assistance in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from performances in big venues helps the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor winnings to good deeds.
When they earned the award in 1996 for their release the album, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would give their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
That year, rapper and singer the artist shared her award between several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required updated gear," she shared with the media.
In recent years, they contributed their funds to the community center that developed their group, alongside other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients they gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had protected two small stages in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by a national body and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
