From a group (not all) of private agencies in the U.S.:

InterAction, as the largest coalition of U.S.-based international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), continues to work with its members as they respond to the disaster and engage in the ongoing relief and reconstruction efforts. Of the InterAction members who have responded to the earthquake, this report provides details for 38 NGOs that have collectively received over $959 million in private funds from American individuals, foundations and corporations. In part, these funds have supported the numerous activities of InterAction members in the provision of emergency relief assistance and early recovery efforts. .

That's not all private U.S. organizations, but a group of the most known ones who joined InterAction. I would guess there are so many others (a LOT of religious charitable organizations and smaller private organizations are not in this list). I don't know where that stands in the grand scheme of things though...

With most choosing private charities they trust, it would probably be impossible to know how much per household the U.S. gave in private donations. It's also difficult to know what percentage came from inside the U.S. - that would have to be tracked in each organization.
