The artist has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which works to protect the Britain's small live music spots.
The star was presented with the award on 16 October as his new release the album was declared the best record of the past year.
He has opted to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part local spots played in his initial steps.
"I wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the shows I did around the region, and further afield, when I was starting out," stated Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – about 16% of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all supported the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a modest fee to their ticket prices, which goes to help local stages.
He also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to help 38 small stages across the UK.
The donation supported venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to challenges stemming from water damage, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted financial assistance in modernizing facilities and technical equipment that helped artists and fans.
"The idea that funds from concerts in large arenas supports the local stages, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
He is among several artists to donate his award winnings to worthy causes.
When they won the award in 1996 for their album Different Class, vocalist the singer declared that the act would contribute their cash to the organization War Child.
During 2002, musician she shared her bounty between several charities, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a grand to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," the artist explained to outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective donated their prize money to the youth organization that nurtured their act, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners M People donated their winnings to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the disease.
"The victory was quite enough," stated vocalist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted the lives of others."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust shared it had saved two local spots in that region, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in Southampton and the other in Bristol were bought under the community ownership initiative, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who purchase "ownership units" in the properties.
