The artist has handed over the complete sum of his £25k Mercury Prize winnings to the trust for venues, which functions to protect the Britain's grassroots music venues.
The star was awarded the prize on 16 October as his new release his work was chosen as the outstanding release of the past year.
He has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues played in his beginning days.
"I wouldn't be doing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the shows I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, more than 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the entire UK sector.
Recently, major artists like the band Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all supported the trust in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by including a small levy to their admission fees, which goes to help local stages.
Sam Fender also joined in, generating in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support 38 grassroots venues across Britain.
The donation supported spaces that were dealing with imminent closure due to issues stemming from floods, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, conflicts and sound issues.
Additional spaces received monetary aid in modernizing facilities and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted musicians and concertgoers.
"The notion that money from shows in big venues helps the local stages, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has commented.
He is among several artists to donate his honor winnings to worthy causes.
When they won the prize in the mid-90s for their album their work, lead singer Cocker announced that the act would give their winnings to the non-profit War Child.
In 2002, musician the artist split her prize between a few organizations, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I gave a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their gymnastics program, because I practiced gymnastics when I was a child and they required new equipment," Ms Dynamite told outlets.
In recent years, the band contributed their winnings to the local youth club that supported their group, in addition to other grassroots music organisations.
And winners that year M People donated their award to a MS organization after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"Receiving the award was sufficient," stated artist Heather Small. "The prize was the cherry on top but we could do without the extra, because we had the main prize. So our success touched another person's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had rescued several local spots in south-east England, by bringing them into local control.
The Joiners in Southampton and the second in the city were acquired under the public acquisition initiative, which is funded by a national body and music fans who purchase "shares" in the properties.
