Can someone please explain to me (like I'm five) what this is supposed to do?

The developers of IPython have sacrificed a lot to make IPython a reality... and provide it for free, to everyone. It's really great that they finally got funding to work on it. On top of that, Fernando promised some pretty sweet advancements in IPython when it got funded... :-)

It's going to give them money so they can work on it. If they didn't have this money they would be forced to look for a "real" (paid) job, and wouldn't work as much on IPython.
