The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25k honor cash to the MVT, which functions to protect the Britain's small music venues.
The star was presented with the award on October 16 as his new release his work was declared the best record of the previous year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
He also participated, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to help numerous small stages across the UK.
These funds helped locations that were facing imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from concerts in big venues supports the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to worthy causes.
Back when the band earned the trophy in 1996 for their release the album, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would donate their winnings to the organization War Child.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her prize among multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Two years ago, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients the group contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the illness.
"The victory was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory touched the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved two local spots in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
The first in that area and the other in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the venues.
