The star has donated the entirety of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which works to save the Britain's grassroots music venues.
Fender was given the cheque on 16 October as his third album his work was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
He has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part small stages fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I performed around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," remarked the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these spaces have shut down – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 small stages across Britain.
The donation helped locations that were dealing with possible closure due to challenges stemming from floods, blazes and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained funding support in improving amenities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and audiences.
"The concept that money from performances in big venues helps the smaller venues, where it all starts for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has stated.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his Mercury Prize winnings to charitable organizations.
When they received the award in the mid-90s for their release their work, lead singer Cocker declared that the act would donate their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, artist the artist divided her bounty between multiple organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," she told the media.
Previously, the band gave their prize money to the community center that supported their band, alongside other independent music bodies.
Also 1994 winners M People contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked singer Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success affected the lives of others."
Last week, the trust announced it had saved two grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in the city were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by Arts Council England and music fans who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
