NOTE: The Norwegian and Australian number listed in article is outdated/old, I added the right amounts.
Holland was somehow forgotten.
Private donations are not counted.
U.K. promised to give more.
Germany promised more.
Some countries donations might be higher at present time.

Netherlands: €112 million (16 million people)

Mexico   lol

-Canada: $33 million. (32.5 million people)

Strange how CBC got it's own government's number wrong. Maybe that's the official, but Martin and Pettigrew upped it to 80 million plus matching private donations.

Australia is crazy!!    Deezamn

is there some international competition out there that i'm not aware of , how come every post i see it's " oh this country gave this much and this country gave that much , haha we're better because we gave more"  i'm not saying that this post is like this but in my opinion it really doesn't matter how much more one country gives over another , the only amount that should matter is if they're getting enough to get back to where they use to be, all the meaning of giving is worthless if all you're doing is making a competition out of it.

^^ It's just interesting to see how much each country gives, compared to what they're good for/capable of..
And it's also interesting to see the total picture of how much is given, the total amount is crazy, but it's a good cause.

as i pointed out earlier, the U.S. is not the most generous developed nation, despite what some of you may wish to believe.  esp. when you consider national income, and population size.
