The star has handed over the entirety of his £25,000 honor cash to the trust for venues, which operates to save the Britain's small live music spots.
Fender was given the cheque on October 16 as his third album the album was named the top album of the past year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots played in his beginning days.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the performances I played around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
Sam Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to help numerous small stages across Britain.
These funds assisted venues that were confronting possible closure due to issues stemming from floods, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained funding support in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that revenue from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
When the band won the trophy in the year 1996 for their album their work, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the act would contribute their winnings to the organization War Child.
During 2002, artist the artist split her award across a few charities, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," she told the media.
Previously, they gave their funds to the youth organization that developed their band, alongside other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners M People donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated artist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the MVT revealed it had rescued two local spots in that region, by bringing them into community ownership.
One venue in that area and The Croft in the city were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "shares" in the properties.
