The artist has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the MVT, which functions to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
He was presented with the award on October 16 as his latest record his work was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his live tour to help 38 local spots across Britain.
The money supported spaces that were facing imminent closure due to issues stemming from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations received monetary aid in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The notion that funds from performances in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
In they earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician the artist shared her award among a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the community center that nurtured their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year the group contributed their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Winning was ample," stated vocalist the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT shared it had saved two small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The first in the city and the second in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by the arts council and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
