The star has given the full amount of his £25k honor winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on October 16 as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across Britain.
The money supported locations that were facing potential shutdown due to issues arising from water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues obtained monetary aid in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from shows in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his award prize money to worthy causes.
When the band won the prize in the year 1996 for their release their work, frontman Cocker announced that the group would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, musician the artist split her prize between a few organizations, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to outlets.
Two years ago, the band contributed their funds to the community center that supported their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients the group gave their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our success affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had rescued several grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in that area and The Croft in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
