The artist has handed over the entirety of his £25,000 award prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to save the Britain's independent concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the prize on October 16 as his new release People Watching was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
He has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in appreciation of the vital role local spots had in his beginning days.
"I couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, at least 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Over the past year, top acts including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
These funds supported venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by floods, fires and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and audiences.
"The notion that funds from shows in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
He is among several artists to donate his award funds to worthy causes.
Back when the band received the award in the year 1996 for their record the album, lead singer Cocker announced that the group would give their cash to the organization War Child.
In 2002, rapper and singer the artist split her award among several charities, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"Additionally, I donated a grand to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
Previously, Ezra Collective gave their funds to the youth organization that supported their band, as well as other local music groups.
And 1994 winners M People gave their award to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the illness.
"The victory was ample," said vocalist Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory touched another person's life."
In the past week, the MVT shared it had protected several small stages in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
One venue in the city and the other in the city were bought under the community ownership program, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the properties.
