The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award prize money to the MVT, which works to save the Britain's independent music venues.
The star was given the award on 16 October as his new release People Watching was named the best record of the past year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," said Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a small levy to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
He also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across Britain.
These funds assisted venues that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges caused by water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that helped artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
He is not the first artist to donate his honor funds to charitable organizations.
When the band won the trophy in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her prize between several charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, they gave their prize money to the community center that nurtured their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People contributed their award to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked artist Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning affected another person's life."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had saved two local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in that location were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who buy "shares" in the venues.
