The star has given the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which functions to save the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was presented with the prize on 16 October as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians like the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting over £100k on his live tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The donation supported locations that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in upgrading infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from shows in large arenas helps the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to give his honor funds to worthy causes.
In Pulp won the prize in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Cocker stated that the group would donate their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite shared her prize among multiple good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Previously, the band donated their prize money to the youth organization that developed their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year the group gave their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"Winning was ample," stated singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched another person's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had rescued two small stages in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in that location were bought under the community ownership program, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the venues.
