Quick answer
Nonprofits succeed on Telegram with specific stories and transparent impact: advertise one concrete need ('$10 provides X'), link to a channel or donation bot, and report back on what donations achieved. Accept the payment methods your donors use — including crypto where legal — and run focused pushes around giving days and emergencies. Measure cost per donor, average gift and repeat donation rate. Adsun lets nonprofits test Telegram campaigns with small USDT budgets.
Key takeaways
- One story, one need, one action.
- Show exactly what a donation achieves.
- Report impact to build repeat giving.
- Measure cost per donor and repeat rate.
Why Telegram for nonprofits
Telegram channels let organisations share updates, photos and reports directly with supporters, and bots can handle donations, volunteer sign-ups and receipts — useful especially where other platforms are limited.
Creatives that motivate
- A real person or community, with consent and dignity.
- A concrete amount and outcome.
- Progress toward a goal.
- Clear, single CTA: donate or volunteer.
Trust and transparency
- Show registration or legal status.
- Publish where funds go and regular reports.
- Use official links only, warn about impersonators.
- Follow fundraising rules in each country.
Measurement
Track cost per donor, average donation, cost per volunteer sign-up and 90-day repeat giving.

Metric definitions and formulas
- CPM
- Cost per mille: what an advertiser pays for 1,000 ad impressions.
CPM = (Ad spend ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - CPC
- Cost per click: average price an advertiser pays for one click.
CPC = Ad spend ÷ Clicks - CTR
- Click-through rate: the share of impressions that produced a click.
CTR = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100% - eCPM
- Effective CPM: what a publisher earns per 1,000 impressions, whatever the pricing model.
eCPM = (Publisher earnings ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - Fill rate
- The share of ad requests that returned an ad.
Fill rate = (Filled ad requests ÷ Total ad requests) × 100%

Worked example
Hypothetical example — not real Adsun data
An advertiser tests $200 across 2 countries at a $0.05 CPC = 4,000 clicks; 45% reach the destination = 1,800 visitors; 4% convert = 72 orders or leads at ≈ $2.78 each. Replace every figure with your own data.
Adsun measurement methodology
Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
