donateButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function(donate)
    if game.Players:FindFirstChild(playerName.Text) then
        local donatePlayer = playerName.Text
        print("PLAYER FOUND")
        if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= donateAmount.Text then -- ERROR HERE
            print("GOOD AMOUNT")
            player.leaderstats.Cash.Value = player.leaderstats.Cash.Value - donateAmount.Text
            donatePlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value = donatePlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value + donateAmount
        end
    end

Use tonumber()

if player.leaderstats.Cash.Value >= tonumber(donateAmount.Text) then

Warning: `tonumber` will return `nil` if you didn't get it text that precisely represents a number! BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y
