The star has handed over the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's small concert spaces.
The star was given the award on mid-October as his new release the album was chosen as the best record of the past year.
Fender has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function small stages had in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I played around the region, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also took part, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The donation supported venues that were facing possible closure due to issues stemming from flooding, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and audiences.
"The concept that funds from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his honor prize money to worthy causes.
In they received the prize in 1996 for their release the album, lead singer Jarvis Cocker stated that the group would give their winnings to the charity the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite split her prize among multiple charities, including the NSPCC 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 growing up and they needed new equipment," she explained to a publication.
Two years ago, they contributed their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year they gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked vocalist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the cherry, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust announced it had rescued several grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
The first in the city and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by the arts council and music fans who buy "shares" in the buildings.
