Tracy and Andrew Chow set up the charity 11 years ago in honour of their daughter, Leila Rose, who died aged 20 months from a rare cancer.
Mrs Chow said it was amazing to raise this amount as the charity mostly relied on donations, with some grants also contributing to their efforts.
"When we first established the foundation we never thought a small charity in Warrnambool could achieve so much. I'm still in shock," Mrs Chow said.
The foundation has assisted 260 families across Australia including seven from the south-west.
