The star has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 honor prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the prize on October 16 as his latest record his work was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has decided to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots had in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges arising from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from shows in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his award winnings to good deeds.
When Pulp earned the trophy in 1996 for their record the album, lead singer the singer declared that the act would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist the artist shared her prize across several good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they required updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
Previously, the band donated their winnings to the youth organization that developed their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated singer the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success affected another person's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had rescued a couple of small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in that location were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is funded by a national body and supporters who purchase "shares" in the venues.
