The star has handed over the complete sum of his £25,000 award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
The star was awarded the cheque on 16 October as his latest record People Watching was chosen as the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has opted to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots played in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it weren't for all the gigs I played around the North East, and further afield, when I was beginning," stated Sam Fender. "These spaces are legendary, but they are struggling."
Since the start of 2023, over 150 of these venues have permanently closed – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Over the past year, major artists such as Pulp, Coldplay, the singer Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its efforts to support the industry, by adding a small levy to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to support numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported locations that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties arising from flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations were granted funding support in modernizing infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that directly benefitted performers and fans.
"The notion that money from concerts in major spaces helps the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just common sense," Fender has stated.

Two years ago, the band donated their funds to the community center that developed their band, in addition to other local music groups.
Additionally the 1994 recipients the group contributed their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked singer Heather Small. "The prize was the bonus but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the honor. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Last week, the MVT shared it had saved a couple of local spots in south-east England, by placing them under local control.
One venue in that area and the second in Bristol were bought under the community ownership program, which is funded by the arts council and music fans who purchase "stakes" in the venues.
