The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the UK's small live music spots.
The star was given the cheque on 16 October as his third album the album was declared the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
He has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the performances I did around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support thirty-eight local spots across Britain.
The donation helped locations that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties caused by floods, fires and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations received funding support in improving amenities and gear that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The idea that funds from performances in major spaces supports the local stages, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
He is not the first artist to contribute his award prize money to good deeds.
In they received the trophy in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, frontman the singer declared that the group would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist shared her award between a few charities, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the local youth club that supported their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year the group gave their award to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," stated singer Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust revealed it had protected several small stages in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in that area and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership program, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
