The star has given the complete sum of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
He was presented with the award on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was declared the top album of the past year.
He has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the gigs I did around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to support thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The money helped locations that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his honor funds to good deeds.
In they received the prize in 1996 for their album Different Class, lead singer Cocker announced that the act would give their cash to the charity War Child.
That year, artist Ms Dynamite shared her bounty among several organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," she explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their prize money to the local youth club that developed their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients M People gave their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was sufficient," stated artist the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our success impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the trust announced it had protected two small stages in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in that area and the second in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "stakes" in the venues.
