The artist has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
Fender was given the award on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages had in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support thirty-eight grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation helped spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in upgrading amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from shows in big venues backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to contribute his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
In Pulp won the trophy in the mid-90s for their album the album, frontman the singer declared that the act would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist divided her award among multiple good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," the artist shared with the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective contributed their winnings to the community center that developed their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients they contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," said artist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved a couple of local spots in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the other in the city were bought under the public acquisition program, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
