My employer is a university, and most of my work is on educational apps. It's an enterprise, and must play strictly by the rules for Enterprise Program ($299, distribution in-house only) and iOS Developer Program ($99, App Store) development and distribution. To repeat: Not charging money, or being a worthy cause, exempts you from absolutely nothing unless the rights holder explicitly permits it. (I am summarizing and simplifying, because I am not a lawyer.)

I'm not clear on what your proposed entity would look like. I repeat that I don't have the enterprise and App Store agreements in front of me, and you should read the sections that define who's in your organization very carefully. "Membership" is probably not enough; otherwise I could just get a DUNS number for a club for solo developers as an end-run around Apple's requirements. (I am not a lawyer.)
Even then, I don't understand why you think you need an enterprise program membership. In this context, "enterprise" means a developer program that permits (only) in-house distribution of your apps; "organization" means a multi-person entity that develops applications. "Organizations" can hold "enterprise" memberships, or they can hold the "organization" variant on the $99 App Store membership, or both. The distinction between "App Store+organization" and "enterprise" is in distribution, not method of development. Your concern seems to be with development, not distribution, which means you should be looking at an organizational App Store account.
