US government gives $132 Million to UNICEF every year. In the same manner US government give millions of dollars to Red Cross, Mercy Corps, Doctors Without Borders and dozens of other organizations. In total US is the number one (1) in the world to donate money and resources to charitable organisations. Total is in Billions.

US believes in helping through trusted and transparent organizations like UNICEF, red Cross Etc. In that way they are confident that the money reaches to the needy; not the government officials. They have learned that.

On top of that it adds more depending on the situation.

I hope this helps understand better.
