The artist has given the entirety of his £25k award cash to the trust for venues, which works to preserve the Britain's small music venues.
He was presented with the cheque on 16 October as his new release People Watching was declared the top album of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I did around the region, and beyond, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its attempts to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across the UK.
The money assisted spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues arising from floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and concertgoers.
"The notion that revenue from performances in major spaces supports the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has said.
He is not the first artist to contribute his honor funds to worthy causes.
When the band earned the award in the mid-90s for their album the album, vocalist Cocker stated that the group would give their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist she split her prize across several organizations, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also contributed a grand to the center, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
In recent years, they donated their winnings to the youth organization that nurtured their band, as well as other local music groups.
And 1994 winners they donated their prize to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked artist Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had saved several local spots in that region, by bringing them into local control.
One venue in Southampton and the other in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
