The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 award prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
The star was given the prize on mid-October as his third album his work was named the best record of the past year.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages had in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
These funds helped spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues received funding support in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and concertgoers.
"The idea that funds from concerts in big venues backs the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to worthy causes.
In the band earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their album their work, vocalist the singer announced that the act would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist the artist split her bounty across multiple charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I contributed a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they required new equipment," the artist explained to outlets.
Two years ago, they contributed their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And winners that year they gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked vocalist Heather Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory affected somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued a couple of local spots in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The first in the city and the other in that location were purchased under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
