The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's independent live music spots.
He was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his latest record his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots had in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous local spots across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges stemming from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Other venues received financial assistance in improving amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from performances in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his award winnings to charitable organizations.
When Pulp earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record the album, frontman Cocker announced that the group would donate their prize money to the charity the charity.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her prize among a few good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required updated gear," the artist told a publication.
In recent years, they donated their prize money to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year they gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was ample," said singer Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning touched another person's life."
Recently, the MVT shared it had rescued a couple of local spots in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in the city were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the venues.
