The artist has handed over the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's independent live music spots.
He was awarded the award on mid-October as his new release the album was chosen as the best record of the past year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots had in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported locations that were facing possible closure due to issues caused by floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations received funding support in improving amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has said.
Fender is not the first artist to donate his award prize money to good deeds.
Back when the band earned the trophy in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, vocalist Cocker stated that the band would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist divided her bounty across multiple organizations, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," the artist explained to the media.
Two years ago, the band gave their funds to the community center that supported their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People contributed their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"Winning was ample," remarked singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success affected the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT revealed it had protected two local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in that location were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
