The artist has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the UK's independent live music spots.
The star was given the cheque on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
He also took part, raising over £100k on his recent tour to assist numerous local spots across Britain.
The money assisted locations that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties arising from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received funding support in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Fender has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to give his honor funds to charitable organizations.
When Pulp received the prize in the mid-90s for their record the album, lead singer Cocker announced that the act would contribute their cash to the non-profit the charity.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her prize among a few good causes, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a thousand pounds to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," Ms Dynamite told a publication.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their winnings to the local youth club that supported their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year M People gave their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was sufficient," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted another person's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had protected several small stages in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and the second in the city were bought under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by the arts council and music fans who buy "stakes" in the venues.
