Sam Fender has donated the full amount of his £25k award cash to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the United Kingdom's independent live music spots.
Fender was awarded the award on October 16 as his new release his work was chosen as the top album of the past year.
Fender has decided to donate the funds to the MVT, in recognition of the crucial part grassroots venues fulfilled in his early career.
"I wouldn't be doing my current career if it hadn't been for all the shows I did around the region, and further afield, when I was beginning," remarked the artist. "These spaces are renowned, but they are struggling."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – approximately 16% of the entire UK sector.
Recently, top acts like Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to support the industry, by adding a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which supports independent venues.
Fender also joined in, collecting over £100k on his recent tour to assist numerous local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money helped locations that were facing potential shutdown due to challenges stemming from floods, fires and personal losses, as well as licensing issues, court cases and noise complaints.
Additional spaces were granted monetary aid in improving facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped performers and fans.
"The idea that funds from shows in big venues backs the independent spots, where it all starts for artists like me, is just sensible," the star has stated.
Fender is far from the only musician to donate his award winnings to charitable organizations.
When Pulp won the award in the year 1996 for their album Different Class, frontman the singer announced that the group would contribute their prize money to the charity War Child.
That year, rapper and singer she shared her prize between several charities, such as the children's charity and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a £1,000 to the center, to their classes, because I did gymnastics when I was a child and they lacked updated gear," Ms Dynamite shared with the media.
Two years ago, they donated their funds to the local youth club that developed their band, in addition to other independent music bodies.
Also winners that year they gave their winnings to a charity for MS after a acquaintance was identified with the condition.
"Winning was quite enough," said singer Heather Small. "The cash was the cherry on top but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our success impacted the lives of others."
Last week, the trust revealed it had saved two local spots in the South East, by bringing them into public stewardship.
The first in that area and the other in Bristol were bought under the community ownership scheme, which is backed by the arts council and supporters who purchase "shares" in the properties.
