  I’ve read the tutorials and understand how to add the paypal donation button to a page or post, but the html is not working when I add it to the Text Widget.

  Howdy,

  Could you please paste the HTML code that you’re trying to add here? I’ll be glad to take a look. :-)

  We cannot allow form code for security reasons, but you can add a donation button following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  Thought the guide covers including the button in a post, you can follow the same basic guide with a Text or Image widget.
