The star has handed over the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's small concert spaces.
Fender was awarded the cheque on mid-October as his latest record the album was chosen as the outstanding release of the previous year.
The musician has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in appreciation of the essential function small stages fulfilled in his initial steps.
"I personally wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it wasn't for all the performances I did around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These locations are legendary, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their ticket costs, which supports smaller concert halls.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help numerous local spots across Britain.
These funds supported locations that were confronting potential shutdown due to challenges caused by floods, blazes and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and sound issues.
Some locations received financial assistance in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and fans.
"The notion that funds from concerts in large arenas supports the independent spots, where it begins for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has stated.
He is far from the only musician to donate his Mercury Prize funds to worthy causes.
Back when the band won the trophy in the year 1996 for their release the album, frontman the singer announced that the band would contribute their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, musician she split her bounty among multiple charities, like the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a £1,000 to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked better apparatus," she explained to outlets.
In recent years, they gave their prize money to the local youth club that nurtured their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
And the 1994 recipients they gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the condition.
"The victory was quite enough," remarked singer the singer. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory affected another person's life."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved several small stages in that region, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The Joiners in Southampton and the other in that location were acquired under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is funded by Arts Council England and enthusiasts who buy "shares" in the venues.
