The Walid Shoebat Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2005 by Walid Shoebat, a controversial figure who claims to be a former Palestinian terrorist who converted to Christianity after the September 11, 2001 attacks and now advocates against radical Islam. The foundation's stated mission is to fund Shoebat's speaking engagements, book publications, and public campaigns promoting support for Israel, the Jewish people, and Christianity, while aiding persecuted Christians worldwide. It positions itself as a voice against Islamism in the aftermath of 9/11 and describes itself as an organization that 'cries out for the Justice of Israel and the Jewish people,' soliciting donations to support these efforts. It is an earlier iteration or related entity to Rescue Christians Ministries, focused on similar anti-terrorism and Christian advocacy themes.

The foundation has been embroiled in significant controversies regarding transparency and the authenticity of Shoebat's personal narrative. A 2008/2009 CNN investigation revealed issues with financial accountability, including refusal to provide tax returns, questions about homeland security funding, and the fact that Shoebat's name does not appear on paperwork for related contracts. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has accused Shoebat and the foundation of fraud, alleging his terrorist past is fabricated, and his relatives have expressed mystification over his claimed alias and activities. Skeptics have questioned how Shoebat retained U.S. citizenship if his terrorist stories were true, and the organization has been accused of exploiting post-9/11 fears for financial gain, with Shoebat reportedly earning fees from speaking and consulting.

Additional scrutiny includes a 2010 Washington Post article highlighting skepticism from journalists and scholars who question the veracity of Shoebat's narrative, suggesting it may be promoted by fundamentalist Christians for financial gain or personal benefit. The organization's operations lack transparency; tax returns were promised but not provided, and board details were vague, with only a former pilot named as an adviser who did not respond to inquiries. Shoebat has denied making substantial profits, claiming a modest salary comparable to a gas station attendant, but the foundation's financial practices remain under question.

The foundation is registered as a charity in Pennsylvania (though Shoebat's LinkedIn profile lists a location in Mountain View, California) and has been described as less than transparent in its operations. Its operations appear limited, with no clear evidence of a large staff or extensive programs beyond Shoebat's personal advocacy, which includes appearances at events and consultations on homeland security topics. Despite these controversies, the organization continues to promote its mission through Shoebat's platform, focusing on pro-Israel and anti-Islamist narratives.
