The star has handed over the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the Britain's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the cheque on October 16 as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the outstanding release of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function grassroots venues fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing this success if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are facing challenges."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – roughly 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, top acts such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to help venues survive, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports independent venues.
He also participated, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to help numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money assisted spaces that were confronting imminent closure due to challenges arising from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and neighbor objections.
Some locations were granted funding support in modernizing amenities and technical equipment that helped musicians and audiences.
"The notion that revenue from concerts in large arenas backs the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is not the first artist to give his Mercury Prize prize money to good deeds.
When Pulp won the award in 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Cocker announced that the act would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, musician the artist split her award across a few good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"Additionally, I contributed a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked better apparatus," Ms Dynamite shared with a publication.
Previously, the band gave their winnings to the youth organization that supported their act, as well as other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year they contributed their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was found to have the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," said vocalist Small. "The money was the bonus but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success impacted another person's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had saved several grassroots venues in the South East, by bringing them into community ownership.
The first in Southampton and The Croft in Bristol were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by a national body and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the venues.
