The artist has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the UK's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was given the prize on mid-October as his third album the album was declared the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part small stages played in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I played around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported venues that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges stemming from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations received monetary aid in improving facilities and gear that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from shows in big venues supports the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when the band received the award in 1996 for their album Different Class, vocalist Cocker announced that the band would donate their cash to the organization the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among a few good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," she explained to a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the community center that supported their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners M People donated their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked vocalist the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in the city and The Croft in the city were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
