The artist has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 award prize money to the trust for venues, which works to protect the UK's grassroots live music spots.
He was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his latest record the album was declared the top album of the last 12 months.
He has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his early career.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
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, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their admission fees, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also joined in, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped venues that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties caused by water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted funding support in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that funds from performances in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has said.
He is among several artists to give his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when they received the trophy in 1996 for their release the album, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would give their winnings to the organization War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer Ms Dynamite divided her award among multiple charities, like the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite explained to a publication.
In recent years, the band gave their winnings to the youth organization that developed their group, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
And the 1994 recipients M People donated their prize to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the disease.
"The victory was ample," said artist Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had protected two local spots in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in the city were bought under the public acquisition program, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "shares" in the properties.
