The star has donated the full amount of his £25k award cash to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the UK's small live music spots.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his third album his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role small stages played in his initial steps.
"I couldn't be pursuing this success if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have shut down – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, well-known musicians like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help independent venues.
He also participated, generating over £100k on his 2024 arena tour to support thirty-eight grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds assisted venues that were facing imminent closure due to challenges caused by flooding, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted financial assistance in improving infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The notion that funds from shows in large arenas helps the local stages, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to donate his award prize money to charitable organizations.
Back when Pulp won the prize in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker stated that the act would contribute their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician she split her prize among multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to the center, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," she explained to outlets.
In recent years, they gave their prize money to the youth organization that supported their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
And 1994 winners the group gave their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was ample," remarked artist the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory affected another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved two grassroots venues in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
The Joiners in the city and the other in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition program, which is backed by Arts Council England and music fans who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
