We need to obtain each purchasers shipping address after a payment is made. How can we insure this happens? Right now, it's not.

Not sure what other info is needed here.

On the Checkout Screen, there's an option for the Donor to share their mailing address with you however, they have to check the box - you cannot force this as it's up to the donor to decide.

The problem with the Donation item button code is that you cannot take advantage of the option variables (on0, os0, on1, os1, etc.) to pass any additional data to the PayPal Checkout screens. The work around is use the Buy Now item button code - in addition, you can "manually" code the button to not only use the option variables but, include a script to manage the text input fields so the information you need will be required - that way you will get the info you need. Because this method does not use the actual command for Donations, you won't see the "Purpose" or "Donation Amount" headers on the PayPal Screens. For learning purposes, below is an example of how this can be done.
