The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which works to save the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was presented with the prize on October 16 as his third album his work was named the best record of the past year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to help numerous small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces received funding support in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The idea that funds from concerts in major spaces supports the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has commented.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his award winnings to worthy causes.
When they earned the prize in the year 1996 for their release their work, lead singer Cocker stated that the act would give their cash to the charity the charity.
In 2002, artist Ms Dynamite split her bounty across multiple charities, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed updated gear," she explained to outlets.
Previously, they contributed their winnings to the local youth club that supported their band, alongside other local music groups.
Also the 1994 recipients the group gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was found to have the condition.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," remarked artist Heather Small. "The prize was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Recently, the MVT shared it had saved a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the second in Bristol were bought under the community ownership program, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "stakes" in the buildings.
