Sam Fender has given the full amount of his twenty-five thousand pound award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the UK's small music venues.
The star was given the prize on 16 October as his new release his work was declared the top album of the previous year.
The musician has decided to hand the money over to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part local spots played in his early career.
"I personally would not have achieved what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I did around the North East, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are in difficulty."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these venues have ceased operations – roughly one-sixth of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all backed the MVT in its efforts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket prices, which supports smaller concert halls.
Sam Fender also took part, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous local spots across Britain.
These funds assisted spaces that were facing possible closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, conflicts and noise complaints.
Some locations obtained monetary aid in improving infrastructure and sound and lighting systems that positively impacted artists and concertgoers.
"The idea that revenue from shows in big venues supports the local stages, where it begins for artists like me, is just common sense," Sam Fender has commented.
The musician is among several artists to give his award funds to charitable organizations.
When the band received the trophy in the year 1996 for their release their work, lead singer the singer declared that the band would donate their prize money to the non-profit War Child.
During 2002, musician she shared her award across several charities, including the children's charity and a charity for Sickle Cell.
"I also donated a £1,000 to my local community centre, to their classes, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they lacked new equipment," she shared with outlets.
In recent years, they contributed their funds to the local youth club that nurtured their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Additionally 1994 winners the group contributed their winnings to a multiple sclerosis charity after a close contact was diagnosed the condition.
"Winning was ample," remarked artist Heather Small. "The money was the cherry on top but we didn't need the cherry, because we had the cake. So our victory impacted another person's life."
Recently, the MVT announced it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in that region, by transferring them to community ownership.
The Joiners in the city and The Croft in Bristol were purchased under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is supported by the arts council and enthusiasts who acquire "ownership units" in the properties.
