The star has donated the entirety of his £25k award prize money to the MVT, which operates to protect the United Kingdom's independent music venues.
He was awarded the prize on October 16 as his new release his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also took part, generating over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 local spots across Britain.
These funds supported locations that were facing possible closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Other venues received monetary aid in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that helped musicians and audiences.
"The notion that funds from shows in big venues helps the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his honor funds to good deeds.
When Pulp received the prize in the year 1996 for their album their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite split her award across several organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," the artist explained to a publication.
Two years ago, they donated their funds to the local youth club that developed their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners M People contributed their prize to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," said vocalist Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success affected another person's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the second in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "stakes" in the properties.
