Freedom Education Project Puget Sound (FEPPS) operates in the education administration sector, delivering a rigorous college program for incarcerated women, including those who are trans-identified or gender nonconforming, in Washington state. Based in Seattle, it offers an Associate of Arts degree accredited by Tacoma Community College and a Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree accredited by the University of Puget Sound, with the aim of creating pathways to higher education after students return to their communities. The organization maintains a small-to-mid-sized staff and collaborates with higher education partners to provide these credentials during incarceration and after release. It addresses substantial post-release challenges such as debt, stigma, and barriers to housing and employment, and emphasizes education as a means to reduce recidivism and improve outcomes for children of incarcerated parents. In 2021, the Henry Art Gallery partnered with FEPPS to support its initiatives.
