The artist has given the complete sum of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the UK's grassroots music venues.
The star was presented with the award on mid-October as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role small stages had in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," said Sam Fender. "These venues are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have permanently closed – about 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
He also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist thirty-eight small stages across Britain.
These funds assisted venues that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from water damage, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted funding support in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted performers and audiences.
"The concept that revenue from performances in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," the star has commented.
He is not the first artist to give his honor prize money to worthy causes.
In the band earned the trophy in 1996 for their record their work, lead singer the singer declared that the group would contribute their prize money to the charity the charity.
During 2002, rapper and singer the artist split her award between several good causes, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell charity.
"Additionally, I gave a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," Ms Dynamite explained to the media.
Previously, they contributed their prize money to the community center that supported their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also winners that year they gave their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the illness.
"Winning was quite enough," said artist Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our success impacted somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust shared it had rescued several small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
One venue in Southampton and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "shares" in the properties.
