The artist has donated the entirety of his £25k award prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the United Kingdom's small music venues.
He was given the cheque on October 16 as his third album his work was chosen as the best record of the past year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function grassroots venues had in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, raising over £100k on his recent tour to support numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped venues that were confronting possible closure due to issues arising from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in upgrading amenities and technical equipment that helped musicians and fans.
"The idea that revenue from shows in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his honor prize money to charitable organizations.
When Pulp earned the trophy in 1996 for their album the album, frontman the singer declared that the band would contribute their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize among several organizations, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed new equipment," she shared with a publication.
Two years ago, the band gave their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally winners that year M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," said artist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had rescued several local spots in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in the city were purchased under the community ownership program, which is funded by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the properties.
