The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k honor prize money to the trust for venues, which functions to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his third album his work was declared the top album of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have shut down – roughly one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports local stages.
Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 local spots across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Other venues received funding support in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The notion that funds from concerts in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it begins for artists like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his honor winnings to worthy causes.
In they won the prize in the mid-90s for their release the album, vocalist Cocker stated that the group would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite shared her prize between a few charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required better apparatus," she shared with a publication.
In recent years, the band contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year they contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked vocalist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in that area and The Croft in that location were bought under the public acquisition program, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the buildings.
