The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the UK's independent live music spots.
He was given the cheque on October 16 as his third album People Watching was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it wasn't for all the shows I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have shut down – about 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The money assisted locations that were confronting imminent closure due to issues stemming from water damage, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Some locations obtained financial assistance in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and fans.
"The concept that funds from shows in major spaces helps the local stages, where it begins for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
Fender is among several artists to donate his honor funds to worthy causes.
In they earned the award in the mid-90s for their album Different Class, frontman Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would donate their winnings to the organization the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize across a few good causes, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required updated gear," the artist shared with outlets.
Previously, they contributed their funds to the community center that supported their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients M People donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said vocalist Small. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had protected several small stages in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
One venue in the city and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
