The star has donated the full amount of his £25k award cash to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the United Kingdom's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was given the award on 16 October as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the past year.
The musician has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages played in his early career.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These venues are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly 16 percent of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts including Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also participated, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 grassroots venues across the UK.
The money helped locations that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in improving infrastructure and gear that helped artists and fans.
"The notion that money from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
The musician is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to charitable organizations.
When they earned the trophy in 1996 for their release Different Class, frontman the singer stated that the band would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she shared her award between a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," she explained to outlets.
Two years ago, they gave their prize money to the community center that nurtured their group, in addition to other local music groups.
And winners that year the group donated their winnings to a charity for MS after a friend was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't need the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory touched the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had protected two local spots in south-east England, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the community ownership program, which is supported by a national body and music fans who buy "shares" in the venues.
