The artist has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor winnings to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's independent concert spaces.
The star was given the prize on October 16 as his new release his work was declared the top album of the past year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to assist numerous grassroots venues across the UK.
These funds helped spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges caused by floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and sound issues.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in improving infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The idea that revenue from concerts in major spaces supports the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just sensible," Fender has stated.
The musician is among several artists to give his honor funds to worthy causes.
In they received the award in the year 1996 for their release their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist she shared her award between multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they required better apparatus," she explained to outlets.
In recent years, they gave their prize money to the community center that nurtured their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group gave their award to a MS organization after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"Receiving the award was ample," stated singer the singer. "The prize was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our success touched somebody else's life."
Recently, the trust announced it had saved two grassroots venues in south-east England, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in the city and the other in that location were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
