The star has given the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to save the Britain's small concert spaces.
He was presented with the cheque on mid-October as his third album the album was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function small stages played in his beginning days.
"I personally couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the area, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
He also joined in, collecting over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 local spots across the UK.
The donation helped locations that were facing possible closure due to issues caused by water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Some locations received monetary aid in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The notion that money from performances in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to contribute his Mercury Prize funds to charitable organizations.
In Pulp won the prize in the mid-90s for their record Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would give their prize money to the organization the charity.
In 2002, artist she split her bounty among several organizations, such as the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked updated gear," she explained to the media.
Two years ago, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the youth organization that supported their act, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners M People contributed their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," remarked singer Small. "The cash was the extra but we didn't need the extra, because we had the main prize. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust shared it had protected several local spots in that region, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and The Croft in the city were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
