The artist has donated the complete sum of his £25,000 award prize money to the MVT, which works to preserve the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was given the cheque on October 16 as his new release the album was named the top album of the past year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages played in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous small stages across the UK.
The money helped venues that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from concerts in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
He is not the first artist to contribute his honor funds to worthy causes.
In Pulp received the award in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, lead singer Cocker declared that the act would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her bounty across several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," the artist told the media.
In recent years, the band gave their winnings to the local youth club that nurtured their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Also 1994 winners the group gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was identified with the condition.
"Winning was ample," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had rescued two local spots in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
