The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k honor winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
The star was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his latest record his work was named the best record of the previous year.
He has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part local spots played in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped locations that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The concept that money from performances in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
When Pulp won the trophy in 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist the singer stated that the group would give their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, musician she shared her prize between multiple charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," the artist shared with a publication.
In recent years, they donated their funds to the local youth club that supported their group, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners the group gave their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," said vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had rescued several small stages in that region, by transferring them to local control.
The first in that area and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by a national body and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
