The artist has handed over the entirety of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which functions to save the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was given the prize on mid-October as his new release the album was named the best record of the last 12 months.
He has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the performances I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The money helped spaces that were facing possible closure due to challenges arising from water damage, blazes and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in upgrading infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The notion that revenue from performances in large arenas helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his honor prize money to good deeds.
Back when the band won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album the album, frontman the singer stated that the act would donate their prize money to the charity War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her bounty among a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they required new equipment," the artist explained to outlets.
Previously, the band gave their prize money to the community center that supported their group, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their award to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," remarked artist Small. "The money was the extra but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had rescued two grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in the city and the second in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
