Is the official account authentication of WeChat, a non-profit organization of government agencies, free?

It is not free. The institution code certificate of public institutions shows that legal persons of public institutions need to pay 300 yuan certification fees, such as public schools and Party schools of county committees. The group certification of public institutions needs to be paid, whether it is public welfare or not. There is no charge for WeChat authentication of government departments and legal representatives belonging to government agencies.
