The artist has handed over the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the prize on October 16 as his latest record the album was named the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the essential function local spots played in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the gigs I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have shut down – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
Recently, top acts like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a small levy to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist numerous local spots across Britain.
The donation supported venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges arising from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted funding support in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and fans.
"The concept that funds from shows in big venues supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his honor winnings to good deeds.
Back when Pulp earned the award in 1996 for their release the album, vocalist Cocker announced that the group would donate their cash to the organization War Child.
That year, musician she divided her bounty among a few good causes, like the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," the artist explained to the media.
In recent years, the band contributed their prize money to the community center that nurtured their group, alongside other local music groups.
Additionally 1994 winners M People donated their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," said vocalist Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved two small stages in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in the city were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "shares" in the properties.
