The star has donated the full amount of his £25k honor cash to the MVT, which operates to preserve the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his new release the album was named the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also took part, raising over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to support 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The donation assisted locations that were confronting imminent closure due to issues stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The idea that revenue from concerts in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp won the prize in 1996 for their record their work, vocalist Cocker declared that the group would give their prize money to the organization the charity.
During 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her bounty among multiple charities, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," the artist told the media.
Previously, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients M People contributed their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Winning was ample," said singer Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had saved several local spots in that region, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in the city were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the venues.
