The star has handed over the full amount of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to preserve the United Kingdom's independent concert spaces.
Fender was given the cheque on October 16 as his third album People Watching was named the top album of the previous year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his initial steps.
"As an artist would not have achieved my current career if it weren't for all the shows I did around the region, and beyond, when I was beginning," said Fender. "These spaces are iconic, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, more than 150 of these venues have ceased operations – approximately one-sixth of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to support the industry, by including a small levy to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across the UK.
These funds helped venues that were dealing with potential shutdown due to issues caused by water damage, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted monetary aid in improving amenities and technical equipment that positively impacted musicians and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from shows in major spaces supports the smaller venues, where it begins for performers like me, is just logical," Fender has said.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize funds to worthy causes.
In they received the trophy in the mid-90s for their album their work, vocalist Jarvis Cocker announced that the band would contribute their cash to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, rapper and singer she divided her award among multiple good causes, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was younger and they needed new equipment," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
Previously, they donated their prize money to the youth organization that developed their band, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients they donated their prize to a MS organization after a close contact was found to have the illness.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our success affected the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT shared it had protected several grassroots venues in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in the city and the second in Bristol were bought under the public acquisition program, which is supported by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "stakes" in the buildings.
