Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

The Mastodon For Harris campaign has raised close to $500,000 within two weeks of being live. It is probably the largest attempt for political organizing on the Fediverse, and may provide a playbook for other efforts going forward.

I mean... everyone is free to spend their money on what they want pretty much, but the marginal benefit of these 500k on the Harris campaign is very low, while the same money would go a long way supporting Fediverse development and maintenance.

The goal is not only to support the Harris campaign but also to raise the visibility of Mastodon including possibly an official Harris for President presence there. I believe the fundraiser has already convinced ACTBlue to include a share on Mastodon link.
