The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 award prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's small live music spots.
Fender was given the prize on mid-October as his latest record his work was named the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has decided to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function small stages had in his initial steps.
"I would not have achieved this success if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," stated the artist. "These locations are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the total UK scene.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, generating over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
These funds assisted spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The notion that funds from performances in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his honor funds to worthy causes.
Back when they won the prize in the year 1996 for their album their work, frontman the singer stated that the band would give their winnings to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her award across several charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," she shared with outlets.
In recent years, they gave their funds to the community center that nurtured their group, as well as other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients the group donated their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," stated singer the singer. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning affected the lives of others."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved two grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by a national body and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
