The artist has handed over the complete sum of his £25k award cash to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the Britain's grassroots live music spots.
The star was presented with the prize on October 16 as his latest record his work was named the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, top acts like the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous small stages across Britain.
The donation assisted locations that were dealing with possible closure due to issues caused by flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in improving amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The notion that funds from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
He is not the first artist to donate his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
In the band won the award in the mid-90s for their release their work, frontman Cocker announced that the group would donate their winnings to the non-profit the charity.
That year, artist the artist divided her award among several good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I donated a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," the artist explained to outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their band, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated singer Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning affected another person's life."
Recently, the trust shared it had protected a couple of small stages in that region, by placing them under community ownership.
One venue in the city and the other in the city were acquired under the community ownership program, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "shares" in the venues.
