The artist has donated the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the UK's independent concert spaces.
Fender was given the cheque on 16 October as his new release the album was chosen as the top album of the past year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the North East, and beyond, when I was just getting going," remarked the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, major artists such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting over £100k on his live tour to help 38 small stages across Britain.
The money helped spaces that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges stemming from flooding, fires and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted financial assistance in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The idea that funds from concerts in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," the star has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to contribute his award funds to good deeds.
In Pulp won the prize in 1996 for their album their work, lead singer the singer declared that the band would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
During 2002, artist she divided her bounty across a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," she explained to outlets.
In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the local youth club that supported their group, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners the group donated their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was diagnosed the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked artist Heather Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our winning touched somebody else's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved two small stages in the South East, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in that area and The Croft in the city were bought under the community ownership program, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
