The star has donated the entirety of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's small music venues.
Fender was given the cheque on October 16 as his third album his work was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function small stages had in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians including the band Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to support numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges stemming from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Additional spaces received financial assistance in modernizing amenities and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from concerts in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to contribute his award funds to good deeds.
When Pulp received the prize in 1996 for their release their work, vocalist Cocker announced that the group would give their cash to the charity the charity.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite shared her award among multiple charities, like the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they needed better apparatus," she explained to the media.
In recent years, they donated their prize money to the local youth club that developed their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients the group gave their winnings to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Receiving the award was ample," remarked artist the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't require the extra, because we had the honor. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust revealed it had protected a couple of small stages in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in that area and the second in that location were purchased under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
