The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's grassroots music venues.
Fender was given the prize on mid-October as his new release his work was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has chosen to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the vital role local spots had in his early career.
"As an artist would not have achieved what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I performed around the area, and elsewhere, when I was starting out," remarked Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a modest fee to their ticket costs, which goes to help smaller concert halls.
Fender also joined in, raising in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to assist thirty-eight grassroots venues across Britain.
The money helped spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to difficulties arising from water damage, blazes and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in improving facilities and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The notion that funds from shows in large arenas supports the smaller venues, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
The musician is among several artists to give his Mercury Prize prize money to worthy causes.
In Pulp received the trophy in the mid-90s for their release their work, lead singer Cocker declared that the act would contribute their cash to the charity War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite shared her award between multiple organizations, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," she shared with the media.
Previously, they contributed their winnings to the youth organization that developed their act, alongside other local music groups.
Also winners that year the group gave their prize to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"Winning was ample," remarked artist Small. "The money was the bonus but we could do without the extra, because we had the cake. So our winning affected another person's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had saved a couple of small stages in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in that location were purchased under the community ownership scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and music fans who purchase "ownership units" in the buildings.
