You donate the money, and then when you do you receive something based on how much you paid. You are more or less pre-ordering an item, but your money actually goes into making it. They don't take the money unless it is completely funded either, so if you pledge money on something that doesn't make it, they don't take a penny. I've funded a few things, comic books, and a CD, and have been very happy with the whole ordeal.
Basically, it's a way to fund something that probably wouldn't see the light of day.
