The star has donated the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to save the UK's independent music venues.
Fender was presented with the award on mid-October as his new release People Watching was declared the best record of the previous year.
The musician has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages had in his initial steps.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the shows I played around the area, and beyond, when I was just getting going," said Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these venues have permanently closed – about one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which benefits smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous small stages across the UK.
The money helped spaces that were dealing with potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from flooding, blazes and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and neighbor objections.
Additional spaces were granted funding support in improving infrastructure and gear that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The idea that money from performances in large arenas backs the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," the star has said.
The musician is among several artists to contribute his award funds to charitable organizations.
In Pulp received the prize in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, vocalist Jarvis Cocker declared that the group would give their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, artist she split her prize between a few charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also donated a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," the artist explained to a publication.
In recent years, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the local youth club that supported their group, in addition to other local music groups.
Also winners that year the group gave their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was ample," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the honor. So our victory touched somebody else's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had rescued a couple of local spots in the South East, by placing them under community ownership.
The Joiners in that area and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the public acquisition scheme, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
