The artist has given the complete sum of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
He was awarded the prize on mid-October as his latest record his work was chosen as the best record of the previous year.
He has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the crucial part local spots had in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved my current career if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, over 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the whole industry in the UK.
Recently, top acts such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the Music Venues Trust in its initiatives to help venues survive, by applying a minor surcharge to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, generating in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to support 38 grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped locations that were confronting imminent closure due to issues stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in improving infrastructure and gear that directly benefitted artists and audiences.
"The concept that funds from shows in large arenas helps the smaller venues, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," the star has stated.
Fender is among several artists to contribute his award winnings to good deeds.
Back when Pulp won the award in the mid-90s for their release Different Class, lead singer Cocker stated that the band would donate their cash to the non-profit War Child.
That year, musician Ms Dynamite shared her award between multiple good causes, such as the NSPCC and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I donated a £1,000 to the center, to their gymnastics program, because I trained in gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked new equipment," Ms Dynamite told the media.
Previously, the band gave their funds to the local youth club that developed their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
Additionally 1994 winners M People contributed their prize to a charity for MS after a friend was found to have the disease.
"Winning was quite enough," said artist Small. "The prize was the bonus but we could do without the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
Recently, the MVT revealed it had saved several small stages in the South East, by placing them under public stewardship.
The first in that area and the other in that location were purchased under the community ownership program, which is supported by a national body and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the venues.
