The goals of this fundraising drive were "reliability and sustainability", so broadly, that's where the money is going. More specifically, it's used on hardware costs (Wikimedia has over 200 servers), bandwidth and hosting costs, staff costs (though Wikimedia only has 6 employees), office expenses and legal expenses.

Well according to them
"The money will be used for the continued operation and improvement of Wikimedia projects. This includes hardware, bandwidth, staff, events like Wikimania, and other expenses. A successful fundraiser will mean both being able to continue and expand what we are currently doing, and to have a secure financial base for the future. "
There's more info on the breakdown of those expenses on the link below
