The star has given the entirety of his £25,000 award cash to the trust for venues, which functions to save the UK's small concert spaces.
He was presented with the award on October 16 as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing this success if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, major artists such as the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which supports local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist numerous small stages across Britain.
The money helped spaces that were facing possible closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The concept that revenue from shows in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his honor funds to charitable organizations.
In the band won the prize in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, frontman the singer stated that the act would give their cash to the charity War Child.
During 2002, musician the artist divided her prize across several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," the artist shared with the media.
Previously, they contributed their prize money to the community center that nurtured their group, as well as other local music groups.
Also 1994 winners the group contributed their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was ample," remarked singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the honor. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had rescued two local spots in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were bought under the community ownership program, which is funded by a national body and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
