Allow matching donations to be excluded from campaign goal progress until the match is actually received
Selena Cayabyab
Context: Some organizations use matching donations, but the matched amount currently appears in the campaign total/goal progress right away. This can make it look like the campaign has raised more than the organization has actually received.
Customer impact: This can create confusion for admins and donors, especially when the match has not yet been fulfilled or received.
Suggested improvement: Add a setting to choose whether matching donations count toward the campaign goal immediately, or only after the matched funds are received/confirmed.

I think matching donations appear in the campaign progress as the match is claimed, right? So if a donor commits a $1,000 1-for-1 match, the next $1,000 of donations increments the progress bar by $2,000. For most of my uses of matching, this seems like the right behavior.
