Kuwait - $400 million in oil, $100 million cash

Looks like the largest donation from a country.

As of Sept 7, the Red Cross reports it has "received $485 million in gifts and pledges for the hurricane relief effort, of which $251 million has been received online."

Really puts the Kuwait donation in perspective. Guess they didn't forget.
