The artist has handed over the entirety of his £25,000 honor cash to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's independent music venues.
Fender was given the award on mid-October as his latest record the album was named the top album of the past year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role small stages played in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help local stages.
He also participated, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to help thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
The money helped venues that were confronting imminent closure due to issues arising from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces obtained funding support in upgrading facilities and gear that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from shows in major spaces helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
When the band received the prize in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, vocalist the singer announced that the act would contribute their cash to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her prize among a few organizations, including the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," the artist explained to the media.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year M People donated their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was ample," remarked artist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory touched another person's life."
Recently, the trust shared it had saved several local spots in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in the city and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
