The star has handed over the entirety of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's small concert spaces.
He was presented with the prize on mid-October as his new release his work was declared the outstanding release of the past year.
He has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots had in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the region, and beyond, when I was just getting going," stated Fender. "These locations are iconic, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these locations have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to help venues survive, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which benefits local stages.
He also took part, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across Britain.
These funds supported spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues arising from flooding, fires and personal losses, as well as permit problems, conflicts and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces received funding support in upgrading infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The concept that money from concerts in large arenas helps the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just logical," Sam Fender has stated.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when Pulp won the award in 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman the singer stated that the band would contribute their prize money to the organization the charity.
That year, musician she split her award between a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"I also donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they lacked new equipment," she shared with the media.
In recent years, they gave their prize money to the local youth club that developed their act, alongside other independent music bodies.
Additionally winners that year M People gave their prize to a MS organization after a friend was found to have the illness.
"The victory was ample," remarked singer Small. "The cash was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the trust announced it had protected two small stages in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and the other in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by a national body and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the buildings.
