The star has given the complete sum of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on October 16 as his latest record the album was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts including the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to issues stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues received monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and gear that helped performers and audiences.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor funds to charitable organizations.
When Pulp earned the trophy in the mid-90s for their release the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, artist the artist split her bounty across several charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
Previously, they contributed their winnings to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners they contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated artist the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT shared it had protected a couple of local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The first in that area and the other in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "shares" in the buildings.
