There is a really good web page with more details on the subject here:

http://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Debt/USAid.asp

I looked at that site, and it seems designed merely as a way to show how supposedly little the US gives. It seemed to measure nothing but gov't aid. And also, they seemed to have a bunch of arbitrary designations about which aid was counted higher than others.
