Aside from semi-charitable organizations like that, I wouldn’t expect good free
email service to exist. It’s seriously complicated to run a
properly-configured email server.
The last time I looked into it, there were something like 24 separate RFCs an
SMTP-only server had to implement, and much of that complexity spills over into
the administration side, such as DKIM setup. Then you have everything outside
of the protocol such as spam filtering, blacklist/greylist/whitelist
maintenance, TLS key updates, OS updates, etc.
Expect to pay for what you use, either by throwing a whole lot of your own time
at it or paying someone to spend that time on your behalf. Unless you’re doing
this for educational or professional reasons, where the time spent is paid back
handsomely, it’s probably a better trade to pay someone to handle it for you.

Plus there's constantly dealing with spam lists.
I run my own, using postfix + dovecot + roundcube, but because I can't
afford my own subnet - I end up constantly on spam blacklists when
someone else on my subnet sends spam.
The blacklists don't care that I've had these IP addresses for years,
never spam, etc. - they just see someone on the subnet spam and they
blacklist the entire subnet and you have to fill out their form to get
removed, often to just be added again in a week.
It's a real pain the arse.
