Per capita they give more than Denmark. In total they give less than the US (because they have a small population). Does this make them more generous than either?

Now you're making up countries to try and prove a point? Sheesh...
I'll entertain your little hypothetical even though it has virtually nothing to do with the discussion at hand. Are they more generous? Well you would have to be a little more specific about your invented country's GDP per capita. Then you could compare foreign aid donations as a proportion of GDP.
Here are countries rated by economic aid as a proportion of GDP:

The USA still ranks very low on the scale. It's funny, your little hypothetical has actually worked against you, because the USA's GDP per capita is higher than virtually all the other countries that rate higher for foreign aid giving on a per capita basis.
Nice way to shoot yourself in the foot.
