The star has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which works to protect the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was given the award on mid-October as his latest record the album was named the best record of the previous year.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," said Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The money helped spaces that were confronting possible closure due to issues arising from floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in improving amenities and gear that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The idea that revenue from concerts in big venues helps the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
In they earned the prize in 1996 for their album Different Class, vocalist the singer stated that the group would give their prize money to the organization War Child.
That year, artist she divided her prize across several good causes, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told the media.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their prize money to the local youth club that developed their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients the group donated their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," said vocalist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory touched another person's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had rescued two local spots in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in the city and the second in Bristol were purchased under the community ownership program, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
