The artist has donated the entirety of his £25,000 honor prize money to the MVT, which works to save the UK's grassroots live music spots.
The star was presented with the award on October 16 as his third album People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
He has chosen to hand the money over to the trust, in acknowledgment of the vital role grassroots venues had in his initial steps.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – roughly 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, major artists including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which goes to help independent venues.
He also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support numerous grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation assisted spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from water damage, fires and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in major spaces supports the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor funds to charitable organizations.
In they received the award in the mid-90s for their release their work, vocalist the singer stated that the act would donate their prize money to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician Ms Dynamite divided her award among several charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I contributed a grand to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they required updated gear," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, they gave their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their group, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year the group contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," said singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the trust announced it had saved a couple of local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in the city and the second in Bristol were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by a national body and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the venues.
