The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the MVT, which works to protect the UK's independent concert spaces.
He was given the prize on October 16 as his third album his work was named the outstanding release of the previous year.
Fender has decided to hand the money over to the Music Venues Trust, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the performances I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help independent venues.
Fender also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped venues that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that helped performers and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from shows in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
He is not the first artist to contribute his honor prize money to good deeds.

In recent years, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year the group contributed their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"Winning was ample," stated artist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success affected the lives of others."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved several small stages in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The first in Southampton and the second in that location were bought under the community ownership program, which is backed by a national body and supporters who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
