The star has donated the full amount of his £25,000 award cash to the trust for venues, which works to save the United Kingdom's independent concert spaces.
The star was given the award on mid-October as his new release People Watching was declared the outstanding release of the previous year.
He has opted to hand the money over to the MVT, in appreciation of the crucial part small stages had in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I played around the area, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," remarked Sam Fender. "These locations are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
In the last year, well-known musicians including Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the Music Venues Trust in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a minor surcharge to their ticket prices, which supports local stages.
Fender also joined in, generating more than £100,000 on his recent tour to support numerous local spots across Britain.
The donation helped venues that were facing imminent closure due to issues caused by water damage, fire incidents and family tragedies, as well as permit problems, legal disputes and sound issues.
Other venues received funding support in upgrading infrastructure and technical equipment that directly benefitted artists and fans.
"The idea that funds from shows in major spaces backs the independent spots, where it kicks off for musicians like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
The musician is far from the only musician to give his award winnings to worthy causes.
In the band earned the prize in the year 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Cocker declared that the act would give their cash to the non-profit the charity.
In 2002, artist she shared her award between several organizations, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"And I gave a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed new equipment," she told outlets.
Previously, Ezra Collective contributed their funds to the youth organization that developed their act, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally 1994 winners M People donated their award to a multiple sclerosis charity after a friend was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was quite enough," said singer Heather Small. "The money was the extra but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the honor. So our winning affected somebody else's life."
Recently, the Music Venues Trust revealed it had saved several grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in that area and the other in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues scheme, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who buy "stakes" in the venues.
