This is not true in my experience. Matching donors donate up to the amount they state if, and only if, you received the donations to be matched. While there may be some nice donors who will donate above their pledge, it is in no way something the organization can count on. If a donor makes a pledge to match, it's solely up to the donor whether they donate above and beyond.
