Github: How do I add my own projects to an "organization" account?

I have started collaborating on a series of projects with several developers on github, and we recently created an organization with it's own "organization" type account on github. I see that I can fork repositories of my collaborators into the organization account using the usual fork menu, but of course I cannot fork my own account.

What is the expected workflow to import my existing repositories into the organizational account? (I presume I could fork projects hosted by the other members, but not my own?)
