The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
Fender was awarded the prize on October 16 as his new release his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the Music Venues Trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots had in his beginning days.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous local spots across Britain.
These funds helped locations that were facing possible closure due to challenges arising from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from performances in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
When the band won the award in the mid-90s for their record the album, frontman the singer declared that the group would donate their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her award among multiple charities, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," she explained to the media.
In recent years, they donated their winnings to the local youth club that supported their group, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients M People gave their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," remarked artist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success affected another person's life."
Recently, the MVT shared it had saved several small stages in south-east England, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the other in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition program, which is funded by the arts council and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
