The star has donated the full amount of his £25,000 award winnings to the trust for venues, which works to protect the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
He was awarded the prize on October 16 as his latest record People Watching was declared the best record of the past year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in recognition of the vital role small stages had in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts including the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support thirty-eight small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported spaces that were confronting possible closure due to challenges caused by floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations received monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and gear that helped musicians and audiences.
"The concept that funds from concerts in major spaces backs the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Fender has said.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his award winnings to good deeds.
In Pulp won the trophy in the year 1996 for their record their work, vocalist the singer announced that the band would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist she shared her prize between a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," she explained to a publication.
In recent years, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that supported their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year they donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," said artist Small. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in the city and The Croft in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
