The artist has given the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's small concert spaces.
The star was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his third album the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
The money supported locations that were facing potential shutdown due to issues caused by flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained funding support in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped artists and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
He is not the first artist to contribute his honor prize money to good deeds.
When Pulp won the trophy in the year 1996 for their release their work, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
That year, artist she shared her award across several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," the artist shared with the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
And winners that year M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory affected another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued several local spots in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and the other in that location were purchased under the community ownership program, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
