The artist has donated the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound award cash to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the UK's small live music spots.
He was given the award on mid-October as his third album the album was declared the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations received funding support in modernizing amenities and gear that positively impacted performers and fans.
"The notion that funds from concerts in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his award prize money to good deeds.
Back when they earned the prize in the year 1996 for their record Different Class, frontman the singer announced that the band would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she split her prize between a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," she explained to the media.
Previously, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that developed their act, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," said vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had saved a couple of small stages in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
One venue in Southampton and the second in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by a national body and supporters who acquire "ownership units" in the buildings.
