The star has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the Britain's small live music spots.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his latest record his work was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported spaces that were confronting possible closure due to difficulties stemming from flooding, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces obtained monetary aid in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and fans.
"The concept that funds from shows in major spaces backs the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to give his honor winnings to worthy causes.
In the band won the trophy in 1996 for their album their work, lead singer Cocker announced that the group would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite divided her bounty between multiple organizations, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," the artist told outlets.
In recent years, they donated their funds to the community center that supported their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients the group gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had saved a couple of local spots in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in the city and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by a national body and music fans who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
