The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
The star was presented with the prize on 16 October as his new release the album was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the trust, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages had in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16% 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 trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds assisted venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges stemming from floods, blazes and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations were granted funding support 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 local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
Back when Pulp won the prize in 1996 for their release their work, lead singer Cocker announced that the band would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among several charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with outlets.
Two years ago, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients they donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in the city and The Croft in the city were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
