I know that they are a 501(c)3, but they have significant revenue and intellectual property, so in order to do the lift and shift, there would need to be some money changing hands to accomplish it. Not only that, but being owned by the EU gives the ability for MITRE employees to have the option to immigrate to the EU to protect against any retaliation.
I cannot believe I am typing that second sentence, but here we are.

According to which rule would "owning by the EU" result in an option to immigrate? Immigration is handled on a per country basis. I don't see how the EU provide such an option.
The EU has agreed upon programs in order to bring in, through an immigration policy, high skilled persons from non-member states. More importantly, working within the member nations, as to which member nation would want MITRE to be located within their borders, is not something that is a hard sell given that it has economic advantages for whichever state(s) onboard MITRE.

Where in this is the option that the EU provides an option to immigrate because the EU owns something?
I'm very well aware of knowledge workers. It's not something the EU can provide as an option. What you linked to is the legal framework around how EU members can provide such a thing.
That still leaves decisions on who to admit to states. As far as I can see its main effect is to allow people admitted to one country as highly skilled to travel to (not live in) other countries?
I think all the big companies that owe their ongoing business should band together and fund it. No way an organization like this should rely on just one sponsor.
Non-profit means (in this case) payed by somebody who does not have anything to say about the transaction. It would be better to pay for it so that people who are interested in this subject have a say.
