The star has given the full amount of his £25,000 honor winnings to the trust for venues, which works to protect the United Kingdom's small music venues.
The star was given the prize on October 16 as his third album the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Recently, well-known musicians including Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help independent venues.
Fender also participated, collecting more than £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in modernizing amenities and gear that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from performances in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
He is among several artists to contribute his honor winnings to charitable organizations.
When the band won the trophy in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, vocalist the singer declared that the act would give their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist she split her award between a few good causes, including the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," she told outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective donated their funds to the youth organization that nurtured their act, in addition to other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients they donated their prize to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked singer the singer. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved a couple of local spots in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in the city were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is supported by the arts council and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the venues.
