The artist has donated the entirety of his £25,000 award prize money to the MVT, which operates to save the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was named the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," said the artist. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have shut down – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds assisted venues that were facing imminent closure due to challenges arising from water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in upgrading facilities and gear that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from shows in big venues helps the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
In they received the award in the mid-90s for their album their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would give their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among a few charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Two years ago, they contributed their winnings to the local youth club that developed their act, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally 1994 winners they gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our success affected another person's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who purchase "shares" in the properties.
