Sam Fender has given the full amount of his £25k award prize money to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's independent live music spots.
Fender was awarded the prize on 16 October as his latest record the album was declared the best record of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to give the cash to the MVT, in acknowledgment of the vital role small stages played in his early career.
"I would not have achieved what I am doing today if it hadn't been for all the shows I played around the region, and elsewhere, when I was just getting going," stated the artist. "These venues are iconic, but they are in difficulty."
From early 2023 onward, at least 150 of these spaces have ceased operations – about one-sixth of the whole industry in the UK.
Over the past year, well-known musicians such as Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the trust in its attempts to keep the scene afloat, by adding a modest fee to their ticket costs, which benefits independent venues.
Fender also took part, raising in excess of £100,000 on his live tour to help numerous grassroots venues across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds helped venues that were dealing with imminent closure due to difficulties caused by flooding, fires and family tragedies, as well as regulatory hurdles, legal disputes and noise complaints.
Other venues were granted funding support in improving amenities and gear that positively impacted artists and audiences.
"The notion that money from performances in large arenas backs the local stages, where it all starts for performers like me, is just sensible," the star has commented.
He is among several artists to contribute his honor funds to good deeds.
When the band received the trophy in 1996 for their record the album, lead singer the singer declared that the act would give their prize money to the organization the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer she divided her bounty among a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also contributed a thousand pounds to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics program, because I did gymnastics when I was younger and they needed better apparatus," the artist told the media.
Previously, the band contributed their prize money to the community center that supported their band, as well as other grassroots music organisations.
Also the 1994 recipients M People gave their prize to a multiple sclerosis charity after a acquaintance was identified with the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," remarked artist Heather Small. "The cash was the bonus but we didn't require the extra, because we had the cake. So our victory affected the lives of others."
Last week, the MVT announced it had protected a couple of grassroots venues in the South East, by transferring them to local control.
The first in Southampton and the second in that location were bought under the Own Our Venues initiative, which is backed by Arts Council England and supporters who buy "ownership units" in the properties.
