We offer free Bronze Organization plans to nonprofits with proof of status. https://github.com/nonprofit

Why would public repos on github effect my private repo on bitbucket?
Exactly. Roll your private repos on bitbucket and public repos on GitHub for the exposure.
To me, if the task is to see the code, they seem essentially the same — a storages one can checkout from, with a nice-looking web interface to preview the contents.
