The artist has handed over the entirety of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which functions to save the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
He was given the award on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the best record of the past year.
He has opted to give the cash to the trust, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds supported venues that were facing possible closure due to difficulties stemming from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that money from concerts in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," the star has said.
He is among several artists to contribute his honor funds to good deeds.
When they received the prize in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, frontman Cocker stated that the group would contribute their cash to the charity War Child.
That year, artist she split her award between multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I contributed a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," the artist explained to a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the local youth club that developed their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners they contributed their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the disease.
"The victory was ample," stated artist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in that location were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by a national body and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
