GitHub does not allow the direct transfer of individual projects from one org to another. You have to create a copy in the new org or use the GitHub CLI to move the project from the old org to the new org.
Go to the project in the old org > Settings > Copy Project (owner: new org). You have to manually move the tasks and links, as this is not done automatically and some fields may not be copied correctly.

For the advanced version: You have to install the gh-migrate-project extension and use the GitHub CLI to migrate the project: gh migrate-project --source-owner OLD_ORG --target-owner NEW_ORG --project-number PROJECT_NUM Linking to the Repo after copying the project, you have to manually link the new project to the repo in the Projects tab of the repo.
