Well i truly believe that they agreed because Christopher Columbus was going to bring back exotic spices.
Well they didn't actually fund him, the queen gave him her diamonds so he could sell them and fund himself. What the Spanish kings did was authorize him and gave him the title of governor of any territories he found. They did this because any findings would be of Spanish property and that meant that the Spanish kingdom could expand its lands and of course, find a new trade route to the east.

Probably in the hope of gaining more overseas territory for Spain. Also for the rumoured riches that Columbus would bring back.

Funny I learned this in school a few weeks ago. It was actually her and the king who approved his voyage. They first said no. Columbus asked again soon later. They said yes because they lost a lot of money (I forgot how) and thought he and other voyagers with him would find a lot of gold in their travels.
