That would be Indonesia based on a 2022 report:

https://www.cafonline.org/docs/default-source/about-us-research/caf_world_giving_index_2022_210922-final.pdf


"Indonesia has the highest proportion of people (84%) who
donated money to charity in the world. Myanmar follows in
second place, with three out five (73%) adults donating money
in 2021"


USA is only ranked 9th in that report.


Perhaps you are referring to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_charitable_donation_as_percentage_of_GDP

where the USA is ranked #1 but that is because it is showing the 
percentage of GDP donated to non-profit organizations by individuals, so 
by nature, wealthier countries have a greater representation.


Perhaps the right phrase you were looking for is "...and the US is one 
of the most charitably-inclined economy on the planet", this way you 
don't disparage many countries that have a greater inclination to donate 
that the USA.
