The star has donated the entirety of his £25k honor cash to the trust for venues, which works to protect the United Kingdom's small music venues.
The star was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his new release People Watching was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
The musician has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in appreciation of the vital role grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist couldn't be pursuing my current career if it weren't for all the performances I performed around the area, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked Sam Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – approximately one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all backed the trust in its initiatives to support the industry, by applying a modest fee to their admission fees, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist 38 small stages across the UK.
The money helped spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from water damage, blazes and bereavements, as well as permit problems, conflicts and noise complaints.
Other venues obtained financial assistance in upgrading facilities and gear that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The concept that funds from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it begins for performers like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has said.
Fender is among several artists to donate his award prize money to worthy causes.
In the band received the trophy in the mid-90s for their album their work, frontman the singer declared that the band would give their cash to the charity the charity.
In 2002, musician she divided her award between several good causes, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.

In recent years, Ezra Collective gave their winnings to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally winners that year the group contributed their winnings to a MS organization after a acquaintance was found to have the illness.
"The victory was quite enough," stated singer the singer. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the cherry, because we had the main prize. So our success affected the lives of others."
In the past week, the trust announced it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to community ownership.
The first in Southampton and the other in the city were acquired under the Own Our Venues program, which is funded by Arts Council England and supporters who acquire "shares" in the properties.
