The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound honor cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
The star was awarded the prize on 16 October as his third album his work was chosen as the top album of the previous year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his beginning days.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it hadn't been for all the gigs I did around the North East, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Sam Fender. "These venues are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these locations have shut down – approximately 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists including Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its attempts to support the industry, by applying a small levy to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 small stages across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported venues that were facing potential shutdown due to issues caused by floods, fires and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and fans.
"The idea that funds from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
He is far from the only musician to give his award winnings to charitable organizations.
In they won the prize in 1996 for their record the album, frontman Jarvis Cocker declared that the band would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.

Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the youth organization that developed their band, as well as other independent music bodies.
Also the 1994 recipients they gave their award to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was diagnosed the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," stated singer the singer. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success touched the lives of others."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved two grassroots venues in the South East, by placing them under local control.
The first in Southampton and the second in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition program, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
